MUST be ESP ..." ... as easily as you could say "MUST have been the tooth fairy" or "MUST have been aliens from Planet X." You've simply taken a mysterious incident and given it a pseudo-scientific name, `ESP.' I am open-minded. I do not know what strange things could bring about two people thinking the same thing at the same time, or how someone could predict something before it happens without any normal sensory clues. BUT just by calling it `ESP' you have still not identified what is going on! STILL nothing has been explained. `ESP' may as well just stand for "I don't know."
