Just as the active software on a laptop limits powerfully the possible
offerings of the global Internet, strongly held personal beliefs and habits
of conscious experience strongly limit the field of awareness and the range
of acceptible experience.

Thus, skeptics re the paranormal refrain from deliberate experiential
personal exploration of traditions re expanded awareness and nonstandard
belief and experience -- the only route to personal conviction in realms
that are "hypernormal", ie radically not normal by mainstream scientific
consensus.

A Ouija board device will indeed function well in detecting explosives and
terrorists, and therefore also at detecting, by nonresponse, situations
involving skeptics who set up simulations in which weapons and explosives
are not carried by committed terrorists bent on impending suicide and
murder.

All Ouija board devices work according to the accepting faith and conviction
of the user, for each person is in fact a unique individualized forever
evolving expression of the totality of the single "hyperreality".
