Healthy Skepticism (• • • Entropy, • • Mind)
"It won't work, and I'll tell you why..."
Anyone with advanced scientific knowledge (such as
four dots in the Science or Medicine Ability) can offer a
reasonable explanation why a supernatural phenomenon
shouldn't work. This Procedure requires a "vulgar witness":
an un-Enlightened representative of the Masses. By explaining
away the impossible, an Enlightened agent drives away
the power of the supernatural. After all, technology teaches
us that anyone in a lab coat must be a scientist, and that
anyone who can mask a theory in the right technical terms
must be telling the truth.
