Logically, you can never prove that something does not exist. But you can have very good empirical data to say that it is highly unlikely.

While I can certainly agree with that, something tells me I don't need the Heisenberg principal to formulate that it makes more sense to believe that this "Kiai-master" is a big fat charlatan rather than the outlandishly impossible premise of guy knocking people down and ringing temple bells with his only voice from across the room.

Though certain theories allow for innumerable possibilities, if we spent our time investigating every crazy claim like this in detail, we'd never get anything done.
Rather, we have to simply categorize certain things which are obviously on the very high probability list of being loopy in the "yeah-right" files.
The burden of proof is on the dude making the claim anyway.
But oh, wait....he's beyond that..he's like..a wizened oriental master of Kiai-ryu!! How dare we even question him!
LOL

Of course I'm being a bit over the top, but we see these types of things every day don't we?
He DID make me laugh though..that counts for something.
