        @sapinker Maybe Harvard hopes Oprah will eventually make a big donation - or even endow a chair (a special levitating one, mebbe)...

        @sapinker she is one of the most influential women in US history, her media achievements are second to none. It is not a medical award.

        @sapinker These principles of human condition exist irrespective of (some) ref. to the supernatural. For a scientist,he is kind of ignorant.

        @sapinker He should ask: given (some) of what she stands for isn't true,what does her message give people. The answer would change his life.
