made. It doesn't help that most scientific evaluation in this area tend to be remarkably inconclusive, and fail to give a knockout blow for either side.
Which is kind of the problem, and articles end up falling into the trap of "is it real, is it not", with lots of material debating whether proof exists either way. Whereas often these things are just best treated as social phenomenons, like "for some reason, people have decided to believe that X". It would be like filling [[Jesus]] with material debating his existence or attempting to debunk his miracles - to me, it would just be missing the point.
