[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 90022, member: 4804"] Yes, this is basically what I was saying. Whenever you take a reading on any sort of equipment, you always have to interpret that reading based on a hypothesis of what it means. There's a separation between what the device senses and actual reality, just like there is with human senses. (Not just in paranormal situations, but in all of science) An anomalous reading on an EMF reader, for example, could be a ghost, or it could be a loose wire. Or it could be magnetic rocks in the surrounding area. Or any of a hundred other explanations. You can't claim it's a ghost until you rule the other explanations out, because those explanations require far less assumptions. [I]"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."[/I] If you rule them out? Then great, you have a real mystery on your hands and you can shout it from the rooftops. [/QUOTE]
