 Give it a shot
I see what you're saying, Alex, but the whole episode makes you look a bit (unintentionally, I'm sure) evasive and misleading. Since you have gotten very promising results so far from the experiments, and since Randi is clearly not going to play by the rules you would like to establish, why NOT apply and jump through the MDC hoops? It appears that's the only way you're going to get the JREF people to play ball. Otherwise, what's accomplished? If you hoped to "expose" Randi as anti-science or opposed to work that might defy his beliefs, do you really think you're going to change the mind of a single person in the pro- or anti-Randi camps? Are you just looking for publicity? What's the point of all this (and I just love this word courtesy of Robert Louis Stevenson) huggermugger? |
