Ackshully, the comparison might not be so inaccurate, at least in the early days of cold fusion. Such software is in a rudimentary stage but can be used to control computer cursors and quadcopters: http://www.gizmag.com/university-minnesota-mind-control-uav/27798/ But actually doing something "useful" (as someone elsewhere said) such as actually reading a mind or, in the case of cold fusion, powering a automobile seems to be not yet here.
