The problem with your idea of those concepts is the fact that you don't realize that perspective is everything. It's not the nature of a force or energy or whatever that determines its classification,but rather how it is perceived by the people that view it. To people of ancient times,alchemy was a mystical art that had no rational explanation,but yet here we are knowing pretty much everything (so far at least) about the inner workings of the chemical reactions,atomic interactions,etc. Yes,what most people call "magic" can't be explained,but that's because their perspective cannot accept it as something that can be logically explained as of yet. Another example is in the Marvel comics. In Asgard,Thor's homeworld,they themselves do not perceive their technology as anything short of "magic",yet it is still technology,but simply being EXTREMELY advanced. Remember,the way you perceive something changes all the rules about it. That's what he probably meant. Perspective. Perspective is everything.
