    12. Or to take a non-religious example: Americans like to experiment with alternative medicine and fad diets. A lot. Is this "irrational"?

    11. Near-death experiences are commonplace. They touch on the central questions of our existence. Why *wouldn't* you study them?

    10. And his terms are dumb! He sneers, in passing, at the attempted scientific study of near-death experiences. Why?
