I'm afraid you've mistaken my meaning in the use of the word "telepathy".
I'm pretty much agnostic as far as believing whether telepathy technically
exists as such, though I'm leaning more and more towards belief in it.
My feeling is that if it does exist it is a relatively rare phenomenon and
not ordinarily applicable in day to day life for most people. My use of
the word "telepathy" in my article was as a metaphore for the assumption
that many people make that others, especially SOs, should "just know" what
their needs are and not have to be told. I've seen many relationships
break up and much other grief caused by this type of "belief in telepathy".
(I earned a Master's in Clinical Psychology before falling into computer
stuff.) This is what I was referring to in my article, rather than the
technical existence of telepathy per se.
