Paul,
I don't want to get into the water with memory issue, but assuming he made a mistake, did he deserve to be treated like that? Also, if the bio-assay that he and others were using was faulty, shouldn't others have wanted to investigate the anomaly if only to protect other experiments! Remember, if there had been an interpretation of this experiment that was non-paranormal, his results would have been accepted without challenge.
Quite regardless of the truth of his claims, don't you think the message has got through to the rest of the research community. I don't know if you yourself, do research, but if you do, would you risk studying anything that might give a paranormal result?
