	Magic fills a niche that technology cannot. The fantasy of the 
magic wand allows us to imagine what, as children, all of us  believed: 
that we could learn to control the outside world in the same exclusive, 
mysterious and innate way in which we learned  to form our thoughts and 
move our fingers and toes.
	That is why I feel disappointed by  explanations, be they  
scientific "it's genetics" or pseudo-scientific  "midi-chlorian".  
However entertaining or plausible they might be, they cheat me of that 
longing.
