In my experience, divining really just doesn't work, trouble is we want
it to work, because it seems like it should, but if anyone has ever seen
a so called psychic using a pendulum, you can see just what's going
on. Positive reinforcement is a powerful thing!

No, I'm sure he believed it. People read horoscopes all the time, as well.
That doesn't mean they work. People fool themselves into believing all sorts
of crazy stuff. The fact that our brain finds patterns where none exist is
the source of superstition!
