I hate how accurate this is
Sooo innovative... Can't you see? They made an app that runs on a phone...
I'm actually reminded of the time James Randi refused to debunk some tech bro's astrology app, despite him being gung ho about how well it worked... With the reason Randi gave being that because it was an app and claimed to have math behind it, it was too close to the realm of science to count as anything supernatural.... Even though there's virtually no difference between this and a horoscope in the paper, but he was fooled by there being a phone involved. So the guy DID NOT get debunked or even tested despite being full of shit he was, he didn't get tested or in the running for the million, but he got Randi's seal of approval.... That's a task failed successfully moment right there.
God JREF's reputation is so overblown.
