True.  But then again, if we are going to consider that such senses exist, it is only because of the stories that claim they do - so we have to accept that at least some of those stories are in some way true.  It would not be likely that ESP exists, but otherwise the stories got it *completely* wrong.  You'd expect that the actuality of the sense would be consistent with the most common bits of lore.  And, by and large, the stories aren't generally linked to some sensory organ outside the brain.  That's one of the few common points of such stories.  Ergo, your left big toe is probably not the seat of ESP.</blockquote>
