Yes, I am asking a serious question.

Mr. Noel Hume is not the only reliable authority to mention dowsing
as a potentially serious technology. Even if the suggestion had come
from a lesser figure, serious suggestions deserve to be honored.

I don't know why it works, how it works, or even if it works. I
merely asked if anyone has given it an open-minded test. We're in
pretty bad shape if we can dismiss ideas as "redneck voodoo" without
reasonable test and review.

So, please, does anyone have serious answers?
