If a vendor offers a product with claims that it sounds one way or the other but without any explanation, one can accept the challenge at face value and assess it subjectively and/or objectively. That the vendor does not understand why it works is not proof that it does or doesn't and it leaves to others the task to explain or dispel the magic.OTOH, if a vendor offers a product and attempts to support his claims with a clearly pseudo-scientific explanation, I tend to dismiss it out of hand as the product of a charlatan.
