Telekinetic powers aren't a reasonably plausible outcome of the fictional act of "unlocking" percentages of the human brain you say? The completely fictional alternate-worlds they've created where these things are a reality include elements that are TOO fictional for you?

Cool.
There is a difference. If they take a premise that has already been determined to be false, for decades, and use it as their base then it is tough to buy in. If they use some future-tech that has not been invented yet you can buy-in.
