I did not just pick on oddball mystics. I included all who replace fact with faith and look to science to support their substitution.

That seems to be exactly what the researchers are doing. They have assumed (without evidence) the existence of some metaphysical thing. And they look for any evidence that will support that assumption. (maybe this is a good time for a refresher course in the scientific method)

And by the way, there is no testable evidence for metaphysics so there is no logical argument in favor of metaphysics. Ergo, any argument with testable evidence is more logical than no argument at all.
