If it's not material (includes energy, of course), how do you propose detecting such medium. If not detectable, why suggest existence?

IMO, all metaphysical statements ought to be colored purple in order to be in harmony with their immanence.

Because in order for a thing to be detectable, it must first exist. If we detect it, it probably exists.

You are standing the argument -- and the experience on which it is based -- on its head, Doc; or so it seems to me.
