Detecting Bulls**t

I found a recent TV programme, the 'Bulls**t Detective' , quite entertaining. But here's a few comments of the 'weirdo' parts of it:
1. Tarot reading. He was good. Why were his psychics not so? Shame. I wonder about the psychics that didn't go out on air?
He chose to say what almost everyone have issues with eg 'You need to get in touch with someone'. Most people are gullible and would accept this bulls**t ...and pay for it. What he didn't say were specifics such as 'You've just been published recently' or ' You've just has a near miss disaster' or 'There is someone whom you look after with a disability'.
In choosing a tarot reader, say at a psychic fayre, earwig - if what the reader says also applies to you, don't book in!

2. Kinesiology. He tried 2 Kinesiolgists, they both said the opposite. Pity he didn't explore the idea that one may have altered his allergic response before the other practiced on him!

3. Crystal healing using a toffee on the heart chakra. Brilliant! Both clients he worked on felt better. Pity he didn't mention the therapeutic relationship and psychoneuroimmunology.

I'm now going to do some chocolate therapy! Smells better than Bulls**t.

Shame he didn't expose other charlatan activities often found in business and the media.
