Hear, hear!

Parapsychologists do think about this issue, however. For example:

Should Ganzfeld Research Continue To Be Crucial In The Search For A Replicable Psi Effect? Part I. Discussion Paper And Introductionto An Electronic-Mail Discussion | Journal of Parapsychology, The | Find Articles at BNET.com

Yet we haven't heard as much about Ganzfeld since then. Did this paper contribute to its semi-demise?

I'm sure part of the issue is that up-and-coming researchers want to find the true smoking gun, and so move on to new paradigms. This is true of science in general.
