Palutena: What you feel is Ness's PSI.
Pit: What's "PSI"?
Palutena: It's a general term for supernatural abilities.
Pit: Supernatural?! Isn't that pretty unscientific?
Palutena: Said the angel to the goddess.
Pit: What are you getting at?

Pit: And I truly appreciate all that... stuff... you do... with things...

"It's easy to shrug off psychic phenomena as being "unscientific," but assuming the person experiencing them isn't totally faking it, it's probably more scientific to consider such experiences in psychological or neuro-physiological terms. They could, for example, be considered the result of "naturally-occuring magnetic or electrical phenomena that affect the brain," or they could be analyzed as a type of "mass hypnosis," etc. It's unscientific to laugh off poorly understood phenomena instead of trying to analyze them."
