> Griefers have empirically demonstrated that websites can affect mental processes by using flashing images to trigger epileptic seizures.
That's true, but the conclusion you draw has a logical defect -- an epileptic seizure is not a mental process, it's a physical one. It can be started and stopped by electrical and other kinds of stimuli.
When you hear "epilepsy", think brain, not mind. When you hear psychology, think mind, not brain.
> Music in psychological warfare and torture is well documented.
Indeed it has, but there's no reliable science on that topic. The reason is there's no repeatable, objective way to gather evidence.
> The Amanda Todd death is sufficient to show that words have the power to kill.
