The question is ..... why did JREF bother to tighten the rules in April 2007 with so very few people being tested?
This application was
after April 2007 rule changes that added (1) the applicant must have a 'media presence'. Did she? Or was it just a one off article of amusement in a newspaper? (I don't know) (2) The signed support of an academic. Who was this academic, did they support the actual claim being tested or another claim? (I don't know)
Also how did this trial pass the 'self evident' criteria, was it just JREF's Jeff Wagg saying 'no, nothing happened' at end? ( Also I thought Randi said they always pass out trials to independent researchers?
Also seemed to move quicker than normal from application to preliminary? The less credible the claim, the lower JREF set the bar?
Chris, surely you agree this was JREF taking the psi
out of the paranormal, an attempt too associate all paranormal claims with nonsense?
Does this trial add to JREF's credibility or not?
