Only those who are more impressed by flash than substance. It's *neat* to see real siddhis performed, but those who choose to disbelieve in them will persist in doing so, finding alternative explanations for what they're seeing. And sadly those who do this will also tend not to feel what it is like to meditate with someone who has realized enlightenment. I've seen it happen -- some people react to a meditation in which it was almost impossible to have a thought with fear, and run out of the room never to return. One cannot project what we tend to hold valuable onto everyone.
