"Prove" is a funny word. No, I can't "prove" there are no pink elephants in interstellar space. But based on our understanding of the universe, we can dismiss it out right. Claims of psychic powers are basically the same.

It's the celestial teapot.

You can't prove it's existence, but you can't disprove it either. Belief in it's existence is purely based on opinion, not fact.

"I like pizza" is an opinion. "I can read your thoughts" is a factual claim. We can test factual claims.

Sure, and "I can hear the ghosts around me" is not, and it's a waste of time for anyone trying to prove or disprove this opinion.

Which is fine, but often the claim is "The thing in this picture is a ghost." That's easily testable.
