This episode was really full of crap. I mean, really a lot.
In the thread "bashing the skeptics" I already talked about the stupid claim that skeptics don't read the litterature:

So let's move on something else.
Skeptics don't do research. It was hillarous that this episode came out the same week that the "Psychic Fair" episode in the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe
Alexis claims that skeptics don't meet psychics in ordre to test if they can have precognitive capabilities, and the same week the episode on the SGU is about the skeptic group going to a psychic fair and doing just that.
So this stupid claim by Alexis is falsified right on the spot.
And of course, you just have to pick any book by Joe Nickell for example of many "skeptical" investigations on the field. Really Alexis can't be more wrong that what is saying in this episode. Is choosing one anocdotal example (the psychic detective) and simply make an
abusive generalisation, hoping that nobody will notice.
Well, bad luck, we noticed...
About James Randi, Alexis show one more time that he doesn't understand anything, by claiming that if he does a replication of the Sheldrake's experiment, Randi will give him a million naked. Of course, this is also completely stupid
. It's obvious that what Randi met is that you need to apply to the Million Dollar Challenge in order to do so. So Alexis, about your claims with dogs, please aply to the Million Dollar Challenge or shut up.
ps: by the way, I did myself several interviews of UFO witness, + I went to several corp circles, and one psychic told me one day that I would become a believer really quicly (so that's a huge miss
).
