That's what they told Madame Curie. "Don't just talk about it, lady, 
and forget the scientific papers--build us a nuclear reactor that 
outputs electricity too cheap to meter."

The observed lab effect sizes are small. If the principles underlying 
the anomalies are ever elucidated, I'm sure we'll have 
industrial-strength Psi Machines (whatever that means) within... oh, 40 years?
