However hot your enthusiasm burns, you don't get to skip the "controlled study" part.

To what end do you not get to skip it? Others may legitimately have lower standards for something being interesting, as Kaj said, or for a technique being worth a try.

Honestly, it sounds more like you're trying to take down Kaj for getting uppity and violating the norms of Science, than like you're trying to contribute to finding truth or usefulness.
