私がよく考えることは、もしS2C/FC/RPMが「本当のように見えるから本当である」ならば、「テーブルマジシャンはカードを透視できるので超能力者である」ことも認めるべきだということです。#ファシリテイテッド・コミュニケーション

Agreed. We're being asked by proponents of FC/S2C/RPM to believe--on faith--in the miraculous power of the technique, when there is a down-to-earth reason why FC "works" (e.g., facilitator cueing and control over letter selection).

"It seems from Robbins’ refrain that this is all she has to offer: her years of experience testing diverse subjects with multiple disabilities, and 'I did what I was asked.'" (Before testing A.L., Robbins had never used S2C on any other clients).

Declining literacy, nth edition: word-use slippage. E.g. positive vs negative connotations. How an NPR reporter described the effects of the Texas flooding: “breathtaking destruction.”

A new disability! As for the rest of us, can they also have a memo for the guy on the beach with the cigar? And for the guys in the jet-skis on the river?

What’s new isn’t true and what’s true isn’t new, nth edition. The new edupiece. It’s one of the most curious blends I’ve seen of preposterousness, bloody obviousness, and blather. news.ku.edu/news/article/s…

“We’re told the presence of additional brain wave activity proves telepathic abilities in one case study and the absence of additional brain wave activity proves telepathic abilities in another case study. So, which are we to believe?“

Yes. A total nightmare. He asked authorities to give him a lie detector test, but they wouldn't. He pleaded for the court to order authorship testing. The facilitator refused. The judge, seeing FC for what it is, dismissed the charges and expunged his records.

The laws of arithmetic are a good example of something that doesn’t require “deep understanding” but should be taught as ways to solve problems more efficiently. Especially the commutative law, which coverts, e.g. 5 x 79 x 2 to 2 x 5 x 79

The difference between being presented via (dishonest) audio in the Telepathy Tapes and through slickly edited promotional videos, and the realities of proving it in court: excuses, bluster, and finally, acquiescence to lack of evidence by S2C proponents. x.com/FCisnotScience…

“Standing outside in the snow in the middle of the neighborhood cemetery, I asked myself the same question I’d asked myself in Courtroom 15B on December 2nd after A.L. typed out his first response about was happening in a picture. Why didn’t I see this coming?”

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during the discussions about settling the case, but still, we can learn a lot about the "experts'" testimonies.
