Sooo you didn't really have any reason for thinking there was truth to the 10% thing...

You believe there hasn't been proper study on PSI? You got defensive when I pointed out lucid dreaming, and that's not the most accepted belief in the scientific community today. There has been so many positive results in tests scientists have done its shocking for me to see someone in this field not believe in a 'brother' field, if you will.
There is peer reviewed researching clearly demonstrating lucid dreaming is a true phenomenon. Honestly you don't know what the scientific community thinks, you're just making assertions here. There's no research demonstrating things like telekinesis are real.

Oh dear, I thought you only meant "Pyrokininesis" not PSI as a whole. There isn't a shred of doubt PSI doesn't exist in my mind.
I'm surprised to still find nonbelievers in it, actually. There have been more tests that came up positive in PSI than in lucid dreaming, I can tell you that much. (Though, I do believe in lucid dreaming.)
You keep saying that but you're not showing it. And I have looked into it (or walked through the door or whatever other metaphor), it's not an issue of wilful ignorance.

Look into it, I don't have it written on the back of my hand.
Or even a memory of some vague details.

How do you know the thing that sets things on fire is in the physical plane? The personality/conscious mind/you aren't in the physical plane, I wouldn't expect your 6th sense to be either.
Because fire is a physical thing; a chemical phenomenon? Have you ever observed any fires not caused by heat acting on some chemicals? Has anybody ever seen such a fire?

As I said above, nobody said it was in the physical plane. (Though I don't take away from the possibility.)
No, telekinesis and the like act on physical objects and are hence subject to scientific enquiry.

Even I, personally, have experienced telekinesis. I use to be on a forum where it was a normal thing that was discussed daily, similar to here and lucid dreaming. Perhaps you have a few beliefs about PSI that damaged your belief about it, I encourage you to investigate more into PSI with an open mind. An open mind. Nobody can tell you anything if your shooting down everything as false.
Why are you saying I'm shooting down everything as false? No I don't. If there is reason for believing something I believe it. All scientists have 'open minds'. Lucid dreaming is a rather strange idea but it is accepted because there is evidence. I don't believe that psi is real because I've never been shown any evidence that it is real and nobody's ever observed anything that would even allow it to happen.
