From the context, it would appear that Pax is suggesting that in his view of how the currently commonly considered imaginary field of telekenesis, the energy generated by the psis' is transmitted through a mechanism that skips distances and interviening matter/energy/whatever in a similar manner to quantum tunneling or the unknown mechanism of quantum pairings; thus skipping shields.

Likewise, from the context it would appear that you are suggesting that in your view of how the currently commonly considered imaginary field of telekenesis, the energy generated by the psis' is transmitted through a mechanism that does not skip distances and interviening matter/energy/whatever.

As the existance of telekenesis is currently open to debate, and thus the mechanism hasn't been studied (assuming that it exists in the first place in order to have a mechanisim) and is thus unknown, debating based on realism wether or not this possibly nonexistant force could get through a shield that is currently only hypothesized is laughable. Or, as Geo put it:
