Is it possible for you to say if I was right to say "So dowsers acknowledge that some dowsing claims are not to be taken seriously without corroboration, just like scientists say?" ? I'm concerned you might be getting some rope burns on your back.

.... I'm a little insulted as nearly everyone can dowse , it’s perfectly natural gift that has been utilised by ancestors for thousands of years, as you know. I'd prefer you called me a crap dowser.

And what scientists say about both crap dowsers and expert dowsers is what you imply expert dowsers say about crap dowsers, that their claims are not to be taken seriously without corroboration.


If you answered my question in the last post "What do scientists say about non dowsers , like yourself , making claims ? " with some actual quotes then I could say if you were right or not . Why should scientists even consider the efforts of novice dowsers as being of any import ?

Nearly everyone can sing but we wouldn't describe a novice singer as "crap" or judge a choir by the standards of that same novice .

Expert dowsers do corrorborate the results of other expert dowers ,it happens all the time . They are judged on the results ,just like a novice /expert singer . As I suggested ,get some lessons , and you will appreciate the difference between novice , experienced and expert .
