And whom ,poor or rich would be more productive in generating ideas about OU ? 
It's not a question of poor or rich, it's a question of method. The only method that has succeeded for mankind is pragmatism (if something works because we made it or found it by chance, we keep it), and reasonable doubt (eliminating all possible hypotheses of a phenomenon until we find the right one, and we can then use this knowledge to our advantage). The second method is the scientific method. Without it, we wouldn't even be able to use a PC or a smartphone to communicate here. If prayer cured cancer or if intellectual concentration enabled long-distance communication, we'd know about it. Belief has never worked any more than the placebo effect. But on the FE forums, we see a lot of psalmody. People here repeat that so-and-so has found FE, just as others used to tell us that Jupiter mastered lightning from Olympus. It's all superstition. Imho, it is urgent and imperative to stop saying that FE exists until proof is provided, and it's not even for the person claiming to provide this proof to say so, but only for those who have verified and attested it. The method is "as long as there is no consensus on the reality of a claimed fact, it is not a fact". So the method is: 1) verify the reality of the claimed facts (the measurements) 2) if the facts are real, eliminate artifacts and all alternative conventional explanations that could also explain the measurements. Only then do we have the beginnings of something new. This requires a little more rigor and modesty than jumping up and down like a capri shouting "we've got the FE, we've got the FE!" every time some idiot or con artist presents his miracle machine.
