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?
- I think the process has already revealed a lot about Randi. While many have already made up their mind about him, others need fresh evidence of how he operates.
