I just don't see where "cold reading" can come into play here.

Surely you're joking. If Schwartz isn't a liar and a cheat, then he's an idiot. In the Afterlife experiments, he postulates that "departed hypothesized co-investigators" are participating in the experiments. Then it turns out that Montague Keen's widow contacted Schwartz to say that mediums had contacted her with the report that Keen wanted Schwartz to conduct research. Then it turns out the medium is going to be Alison Dubois. I'm supposed to believe that Dubois did not know that Keen's widow had requested the experiments and that the departed hypothesized co-investigator was Keen.
The Afterlife experiments have to be the sloppiest crud ever passed for mediumship studies.
