Thoughts about the JREF Million Dollar Challenge

[Seventhsally]

Quote Away... To follow up on drkittens point, the disingenuous will always focus on verbiage, hoping to create enough ambiguity for their marginal data to be interpreted favorably. 'True' claims of paranormal capability would not need to rely on semantics, as a truely paranormal talent would rise above the noise floor of the testing environment so rapidly that all this talk of protocols would become a non-issue. Real pyschic ability, or telekenesis, or whatever, would be so extraordinary a talent that a possessor of this skill could pass literally hundreds of tests without issue-well designed or not. The delicately crafted protocols are needed only to disabuse the delusional from thinking that the validity of a claim is proportional to the intensity with which you defend it.
