Comments like this are a bit annoying. Surely you aren't arguing that Sheldrake has already proved that dogs are telepathic? I don't think even Sheldrake himself believes that. That's why we have to continue with more experiments and make them watertight. That's how all important scientific experiments are done. It's not just to appease debunkers its about making absolutely sure that the hypothesis is correct.
