Say what??? You would insist on ignoring the device, even if it produced valuable results, just because it doesn't fit into your "scientific method" box. That makes even less sense! I have no idea if it works, but if it does work, I'm all for it, even if I don't understand the logic. As long as I don't have to sell my soul or worship the devil I'll endorse it if it provides results. If it does work, I'm sure a scientific explanation will be found later.
Uhm, no. He's saying that there is no actual evidence of improvement (well controlled conditions), no likelihood of any improvement (no free lunch) and perhaps the common triumph of unsupported hope over reality is what is really happening. Maybe some commercial considerations are at work also.
