Yes, but when people talk about it today they are basically talking about magic. I know pagans who claim to be alchemists and they know shit-all about chemistry.

Not really. You weren't conducting a controlled study and you had strong emotional attachment to your relatively tiny (1/16 the size) sample group of a different type of octopus. Like I said, her evidence seems stronger.
No it doesn't. His evidence is weak and unscientific, that's why it's called anecdotal.
She was using Octopus tetricus. Study involved Octopus rubescens- perhaps this also accounts for the disparity.
While we are all entitled to state our opinions, I'd tend to value a scientific study involving 32 subjects over your two-subject anecdotal observation of pets.
That doesn't mean your wrong, but her evidence seems stronger.
