There are also replication failures:

It is premature to assume that the presentiment experiments demonstrate something spooky.

Your first link doesn't work (Bierman's old publication page is probably down), but I think this is the paper you linked?

http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/...esentiment.pdf

As to replication failures, the only way to get any form of certainty is by a lot of independent replications. A few on each side won't do it. There have been quite a lot of replications (here is a list, probably not complete, but illustrative), and I personally feel the evidence is in favor of a real presentiment effect.

But my initial point was that our current understanding of physics isn't closed to the possibility of retrocausal effects anymore (check this link for an overview of a 2006 physics-conference on retrocausation). This is the case independently of the presentiment effect.
