Aha I've read the link above ...

Good science first I agree Finding a real effect still isn't necessarily good enough to win Randi's prize. It is about passing James Randi's arbitrary level of pass or failure. Then even if the dog wins, Hyman will still claim (as he has already done) that if someone wins Randi's prize it is still not meaningful to science .... proving psi to the die-hard skeptics is a long haul.
