"I thought that repeatable, observable evidence is the way to assess whether any claim is valid"
Yes, but not for Human subjective experience as per the examples given in that post.
"Naturally, in all or some of this, I may be wrong. "
Agreed.
Because you seem to have no understanding of what is applicable for things accessible by "the scientific" method and what is applicable for subjective Human experience.
What is it that you and DBT9 just don't seem to get this obvious fact ?
Really I can't be bothered going over and over this blindness of yours.
If you're content with blinkers then no problem.
