Greetings Threewhens:
Welcome to Spiritual Forums.
IMHO--and after 32 years of using various forms of Divination Tools--what you have described is a misuse of Divination--employed only by those who are trying to prove something.
I (personally) avoid those who feel a need to put themselves on display and use their Gifts for personal gain--whether it be a monetary gain--or feeding their own ego.
Peace and Love on your path to doing your own research and coming to your own conclusions...
Blessed be...
Ever your friend,
LadyTerra
