I answered no in the poll, and here is the reason.

I beleive that it is important to think of Ki almost as a supernatural force, not in a "science fiction" sense, but in a spiritual sense. The more Ki is discussed in a rational sense, the more connection is lost with the spiritual side of things. Which is not to say that everything should be spiritual, but where is the enjoyment in living in a world where everything can be presented in mechanical terms? Personally I think that using the term Ki instead of energy, or any similar term, preserves some of the mystery that intrigues me.
