What's your phone number? I'll bet I can falsify that claim. :-) (02)

You have verified this in every case, or even in a non-trivial
percentage of cases, where you've "strongly thought" of someone?
Sorry, I find that utterly preposterous. (04)

Well, I obviously can't deny that you *experience* something, but
until you can come up with some reasonably hard data rather than
feelings and anecdotes, I don't think you've got any real
justification for your belief that there's anything more than
coincidence involved. In particular, it seems to me that you would
need to do some sort of study in which, every time you think of
someone, you document it. Then, if the person in question doesn't
call, you need find some way of determining that he or she was also
thinking of you at the same time. How you'd do that without spoiling
the data seems to me frankly impossible. (Call this the "Don't think
of a white elephant" problem for your claims. :-) (06)
