It has nothing to do with "psi" researchers. I don't think Randi cares one bit if somebody spends their time researching "psi".
The MDC is for people who make specific paranormal claims. The MDC simply asks how can you tell whether a specific claim is true. The simple way is do just demonstarte it. If Uri Geller claims he can bend spoons with mental power then get him to bend spoons under controlled conditions. If Sylvia Browne claims she can sppeak with the dead then get her to demonstrate this. If Alex Tsakiris puts up videos on youtube and claims that "Tommy" can telepathically detected when his owner/s is coming home then why not simply demonstrate this and win the MDC.
Simply state what your claim is, how you are going to demonstrate it and what accuracy you re going to get.
