You said I could not prove you had a headache. Why not? The body isn't a magic sealed box. A headache is a physiological condition right? Depending on what kind of headache it was there would be evidence in the body; in the blood chemistry, blood pressure, etc etc.. Or studies could be done to monitor behaviour to factor out if a person is lying or not. Or CAT scans showing brain activity in the pain receptors; I don't know I'm sure a real medical type person could give more info.

But I don't understand how your statement fits into the discussion. What "half of the facts" am I leaving out? I am open to anything you provide. I'm not trying to "win" an argument. I'm trying to say that until evidence that it is useful is provided, the use of psychics by law enforcement is a waste of resources, provides false hope to victims, sullies the memories of lost ones, and shouldn't be done.
