Again, do not use the phrase "scientifically confirms". You barely
have the credibility to claim your shoes are tied, let along make a
statement like that.
Viable is a word that carries it's own implications. What do you mean
by viable?
Your conclusion (whether correct or not) here does not match the topic
heading. Simply because Ki emission is not a viable MA technique does
not prove that Ki bolts are not real.
Unless you mean to say that, "Chi bolts are real, but not very useful
to the typical MAist."
Is that what you mean to say? If so, then you are going to have lots
of people saying things like, "Who are you to determine what is
useful?"
