I'm curious, Spike: Where or in what form what do they think
this stored <br>
data is? I'm presuming this is not thought to require any
particular <br>
actions on behalf of the person in question (apart,
possibly, from <br>
membership of the SDA), but just happens magically?<br>

OK, but that doesn't answer my question. How does it happen? What is
the mechanism, what is the medium? Where is the information stored?<br>
If the answer is "We don't know", "We don't know", "We don't know",
and "We don't know, but we think it's true anyway", I'd call that
magical thinking.<br>
