This is something of a fallacy of gray. Of course we can read his mind, through the power of human telepathy, by reading more on the same topic. We can't read minds perfectly, but perfect knowledge is never available anyway, and unless you can point out the specific uncertainty you have that decides the discussion, there is no sense in requiring more detail. You might want to stop the discussion for other reasons, but the reason you stated rings false.

The point is not that the ability is "magical", but that it's real, that we do have an ability to read minds, in exactly the same sense as Dpar appealed to the impossibility of.
