 Just because there has not been measurements made, does not mean it
does not exist, and that it does not succeed the most common practiced ways. 

 You know, there are scientists who recently discovered evidence of an
ancient civilization who made a certain mixture of ingredients, and was able
to grow massive luscious food crops, on the desert sands.

 They are Still researching this mixture, as to this date, nobody has figured
out how to duplicate it.

 This is an example of your whit.  In your mind... if someone told you that there
was a way to grow entire fields of crops in the desert, you may have immediately
pointed to all the past attempts that failed... and citing no evidence (that
you knew about), immediately claimed it to be a lie and a joke.

 This mixture was not really a secret back then... however, it was lost to time..
and even though we are hundreds or more years beyond the date... we lack
the knowledge to replicate it.   Meaning, just because we are more advance,
does not mean the past holds no (or MORE) value.  Nor does it mean we know
and understand everything.

 While the crop mixture probably was not a secret to the people who made and
used it... (unless only certain people were privy to it...)  Fajin, Dim Mak, and
other such technologies were secretive, because back in those days, there
were no guns, wilderness was plenty, and more times than not... you had
to rely on yourself to defend you, your loved ones, and your valuables.

 Also, it was still kept a secret to many, merely as an Advantage over others.
Hence, if they tried try to pull rank and or fight seriously, you could disable
them.  Up until like the 1960s, If you challenged the master of a Chinese martial
arts school, he would have to give his school and students over to you, if you
won.  If he didnt accept the challenge, he might lose credibility, and public
humiliation... The Chinese back then placed a Lot of value on public appearances,
and couldnt stand to look bad / humiliated.

 Fajin may not have been measured with devices, but ya know, Its not
surprising really... considering that most scientists care less about human
power output... and the ones that do... are pretty much clueless.  Not to
mention, as stated above, that most people doing Fajin in the recent past,
have kept it a secret.

 Still there plenty of credible personal accounts, and places where you can
experience it for yourself.  And if you happen to have the equipment, maybe you
can ask for a reading.
 
 Just remember how to do the math properly.  IE: 200 lbs  force dumped in
one-hundredth of a second, is far more damaging than 500 lbs in 1 second.

 Then add in how much the person weighs, the distance they started from,
and how fast the strike traveled at.

 Remember, even the strongest puncher in the world, wont do any damage if
the guy cant hit you... and the more distance it takes to generate all that power,
means its easier to evade / deflect / redirect.   

 A Jab coming from the lead hand
however, can be very easy to land at close fighting range... and if
that jab has even the power of a pro boxers cross, you are going to have a
huge advantage in landing percentages alone.

 Most fighters, when close, are limited in the power they can generate... so
they are forced to grapple, throw, and try to get to the ground.  The rest play
in and out strategies... hoping that they wont get caught when they try to
enter close.  Yet, to be able to take someone out of commission even when they
are nose to nose with you, is a skill that is a real necessity of real combat.

 Of course, without any good defensive abilities, and safe ways to enter a
fighters space... it wont matter much what kind of power you have.

 Whenever you see a MMA fight, any standup is pretty much two fighters
trading blows.  Very rarely does either man have a good defense besides
ducking and moving... which does not work well at close range.

link us to that article.. surely if this is true it would be in a peer reviewed research journal... this is big news

Scene 1:   

Dark smoke fills the scene and pump up music slowly gets louder.  The audience sees a ninja and his girlfriend eating at a super expensive restaurant.  The girlfriend is so hot that steam is coming out of her mouth or hair.  Some old idiot is sitting by the couple.  The idiot is giving the girlfriend "the eye" and popping like 16 boners.  But the ninja sees the boners and the music really pumps up.  The audience knows this guy is dead meat for sure.  But out of nowhere, the old idiot pulls off his jacket to show that he is a pirate with lasers and everything.  The ninja is like yeah right who cares and then pops the biggest boner ever, bigger than the biggest blackest boner alive.  The ninja's boner smashes the entire restaurant.  Every single one of the pirate's boners explodes while making a whistling sound.  The ninja looks back at his girlfriend.  She smiles and they pork

 I saw it recently on one of those history / discovery channels on HDTV.
I think it also popped up on yahoo news as well.

 I didnt copy the name of the stuff, not realizing I would have to justify the
Zombie courts of Idiocy.

 Ill try to web search it regardless.  It is really awesome news actually...
IF they can figure out how to reproduce it that is...
