Statement/Action
"A Democratic California legislator has introduced a resolution that would urge state officials to include the principles of feng shui in the California Building Standards Code, which is used in the design of public buildings.
"The legislation, ACR 144, was introduced last week by Assemblyman Leland Y. Yee of San Francisco.
"Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that encourages the correct design of living spaces so people can experience 'a positive energy environment,' according to the bill. The legislation would urge the California Building Standards Commission to adopt building standards that 'promote feng shui principles and publish these standards in the California Building Standards Code.'
"While detractors of feng shui link it to the New Age movement and spirituality, supports claim it is strictly a science."

Reasonable Inference
Feng Shui is a science that promotes "positive energy".
Conradictory Statement/Action
"In short, feng shui has become an aspect of interior decorating in the Western world and alleged masters of feng shui now hire themselves out for hefty sums to tell people such as Donald Trump which way his doors and other things should hang. Feng shui has also become another New Age 'energy' scam with arrays of metaphysical products from paper cutouts of half moons and planets, to octagonal mirrors to wooden flutes, offered for sale to help you improve your health, maximize your potential and guarantee fulfillment of some fortune cookie philosophy."
