Yes, OK, but while I am inclined to believe in the reality of
(marginal) psi phenomena, and even more so after reading Damien's
book, I am not sold to the idea of invoking quantum mechanics as a
simple deus ex machina for the percentage of them which is not easily
explained otherwise (e.g., unconscious body-language reading. which is
a good enough form of telepathy in my book for wishing to enjoy it in
much larger extent).

I suspect on the contrary that psi phenomena may well be the indirect
consequence of multiple, but probably "ordinary" (as opposed to
quantum) physical processes involving our brain processes or the
structure of reality itself; something which would not make them any
less mysterious, fascinating and difficult tto explain.

That is, until and unless somebody were able to provide evidence that
psi information travels faster-than-light or anything like that.
