Actually, I totally disagree.
*pulls out his Big Book O' Rules Lawyering, dusts it off, cracks it open*
The nova phenomenon that people seem to bitch about is limited by the rules themselves, which state that no, you CAN'T spend more Power Points than your Manifester Level, PERIOD. (Nearly wrote peridot wtf >.< ) Overchannel and its similar feats change this, but only if you take damage or ability burn, IIRC.
This limit applies to all Powers, and includes such things as Metapsionic feats (which increase PP costs) and Augmenting, or improving the power's effects (which increases PP costs). Energy Ball may do fire, cold, electricity, OR sonic depending on your mood, but it only does the base damage unless you Augment it, which costs PP.
Fireball, on the other hand, scales automatically.
Of course, if we're talking Save or Die effects, and some of their Save or Suck cousins, those are broken no matter how you run them, be it Psionics or Magic or a non-d20 system. That kinda seems like their point if'n ya ask me. SoDs and their cousins SoSs are one of the few things that 4e did right (remove them entirely or reduce their power).
TL;DR: Go read the Psionics book VERY closely. >:C
