And I am telling you that some people are capable of actions that are considered to be within the scope of what most consider to be telepathy, telekinesis, and such. I have seen the hard data.

Now perhaps your viewpoint is based upon a poor definition of such abilities. If you define telepathy as the ability to look into someone elses head and scroll through their memories like a big vcr (or take over their mind, using them like a meat-puppet), or telekinesis as the ability to levitate cars merely with the power of ones mind, then, yes, you are right, within that limited paradigm such things would not work in this reality.

However, our actual reality is a little bit more complex (and subtle) than that of a comic book. Strange things in this reality tend not to be as flashy as you might like (though even here they can be pretty spectacular). Just because they don't quite live up to our adolescent fantasies doesnt mean that they don't exist. We should try to keep disappointment from clouding our judjement.
