reading their papers, as this has been shown to produce flaws in their
expermental method. Paranormal means will not suffice, as these don't
work on skeptics (Next time Randi is on TV, invite a skeptic over and
your spoons will stay unbent). Do you think we could shut down faith
healers if we all watch their TV shows and doubt hard enough? Or does
the lack of effect from the presence of skeptics in the audience
demonstrate that it is not a paranormal effect that is being observed?
