Chris, this trial was never going to be self evident indication of a paranormal effect because even if Jeff was standing in a puddle, the 'normal' explanation would be that *some* people standing for 15 minutes thinking about urinating weakens control. Why did JREF overlook this and go ahead with trial?

Chris, come on, this trial was a farce from beginning to end ....the only reason I can think why JREF might be happy to go along with it, not apply rules as strictly,and not falsify 'normal' explanations was because the daft claim helps makes other claimants as a whole look a bunch of fruitcakes?

You haven't answered my question. What would getting it published in a peer-reviewed journal achieve?
No serious journal would publish it (rightly in this case).
