Everything is in constant change. What once was ''state of the art'' or cutting edge (not ockhams razor, though) is bound to fade. Clinging to the belief that the described phenomenon is ultimately proven by science and does not need further observation and constant testing is just as ridiculous as assuming ''ghosts'' caused it. (At least judged by the status quo). Other than the last part, the text was indeed informative. The main flaw of the last part is that you put up a baseless assumption yourself. One thing to add:

Slicing off the extra (baseless) claims provides quite the mental imagery. Thank you for posting such an amusing (and informative) explanation of this.
