Without getting too deeply into word origins - divining means to prophesy the future - from God's lips to mine ears - and few dowsers claim to be so well connected - so 'divining rods' seems quite the misnomer -
Between those going back and forth as to whether a given set of experiments was 'properly done' (which, among the lay, in my experience tends to mean 'giving the results I like'), there seems to be an issue about the 'science' and 'scientists' who may or may not know anything about the field of dowsing, I would like to pose the following, non-scientific question: If dowsing actually works, as claimed by some, why then can I not find a entry for dowsing services in the Yellow Pages? Don't you think, that if this really worked, there would be a great demand for these highly specialized persons, leading to a well-regulated, credentialled and well-paid guild? I mean, that's what has happened with every other skill that works... Just sayin' David R.
