That is the point - it would clear the air if one or two well know experiments of this sort could be resolved exhaustively, rather than simply critiquing the work that has been done.

I honestly don't know how you can say there is no taboo. For example, unless you think he is a liar, Dean Radin says his experiment has been reproduced independently by several groups, but they are still deciding if they dare publish! Nobody remotely connected with science likes to admit an interest in Ψ.
