suggests we step out side the 'frame of reference' employed by the study - that's to say, the scientific method - and employ other ways of knowing, ways that in this case (and as is usually the case when it comes to supernatural beliefs) presumably include a combination of gut-feeling, intuition, and heavy reliance on anecdotal evidence. Although the word 'scientism' is not used in this case, that charge is effectively made.
