It matters because it poses an interesting question about the validity of psychic experiences. The human brain is a
very complex and counter-intuitive tool capable of "fooling" it's user in
many ways. If no one can show psychic phenomena to exist outside of personal experiences that are unrepeatable in controlled situations where other factors are removed then what does that say about them?

I think this is interesting. Seems like you're suggesting that evidence has nothing to do with how you choose your belief system.
