Well, it's past Harold Camping's dinnertime, I guess Sunday it's crow for breakfast for Harry. Judgment day was Saturday, and everyone (even atheists!) heard the LORD speak on that one!
Now here's the funny part. This isn't his first time at this. He's researched more than how to predict the future, he's also researched how to make failure sound like success. It's a failure-proof system, it sets aside the need to ever say "I screwed up." The failure is always elsewhere, the guy holding the magic wand is the part of the system that works perfectly. Or, if the magic wand is an "LRL", it's the electronics (even if they don't really exist, never mind if they don't really work) that are never at fault: "operator skill is still needed, just like with a metal detector". Even when the manufacturer thereof doesn't even believe such a thing.
With fake electronic LRL's as with fake Raptures, we're looking at the same psychology-- refusal to be grateful for having been born with brains bigger than those of monkeys. The alibi system can pull success from failure every time, who needs reality?
