Wether or not Psionics are overpowered isn't an opinion, it's fact.
And yet there's evidence to support both clauses making psionics overpowered or underpowered NOT facts, but rather opinions. A wizard can know all spells, yes this is true, but that doesn't mean he has the capability of using them or even having them all prepared in a single day.

A sorcerer however, using the "known" rule, gets less known spells by the end of his career barring cantrips. And because a sorcerers spells per day rely heavily on spells known, it costs 5 spells known all of different levels to have all five energies, but it costs a psion 1 power.

Psionics as a system has the potential to not be broken if you ONLY use psionics as a basis for your campaign. However, in a campaign that simply allows psionics, such as eberron, it is very unbalanced.
