I see it rather that Shemp wants to find proof of something that many such as yourself have claimed to have seen. Then he can 'legitimately' break the boundary to such an experience in his mind. So the mistake is not in his attempting to nail down the proof, but in believing that the solution to breaking the boundary comes from outside himself, rather than within himself. Ergo, it matters not a whit of a whit whether or not you actually witnessed somebody levitating. Maybe you did, and maybe you didn't. Doesn't matter. (Although it mattered to you at the time, and was significant you say in breaking a boundary for you.)
