What data? Is there data here that we are not all aware of? How would you interpret this case differently, given what we know? How would you follow the data to find the truth in this case?
This is the crux of the problem for most skeptics. In this case, Alex's "best case", there is no data, save for 27 year old memories. So you can't really blame Ben for focusing on the only information available. Though I agree that Ben fell way short by not asking some key questions.
I have yet to hear a rational explanation for the complete absence of psychic detective cases with a clear set of records behind them..... a substantial trail to follow.....to whatever truth.
