I agree that Less Wrong in general tends to be excessively skeptical of the possibility, probably due to an excessive skepticism-of-weird-things in general

Of all the things LW has been accused of, this is the first time I see a skepticism-of-weird-things in general being attributed to the site.

While a valid point, LW does have a shut-up-and-just-believe-the-experts wing.
