Bem acknowledged that he did pilot studies. Which ones are the pilots and which ones are included in the 2011 paper? I agree it's unclear.

In any case, Bem's 2011 paper was put out in an attempt to spark relpication attempts. I don't think anyone of a sceptical position is going to agree with his conclusions unless those replications happen, regardless of the quality of the original studies.
I don't understand this either and your clarification didn't help.

What, you don't understand that the best approach would be to get hold of the facts?

I see Richard Wiseman and his girlfriend/wife Caroline Watts are keeping a register of attempted replications ... would it be too skeptical to ask someone more independent to keep the register so 'skeptics' like Wiseman do not know how many failed trials are required to neutralize the claim?

Surely Wiseman should be completely blinded from any meta-analysis (triple blind) ? It would help to keep bias out of it?
So Ritchie is also a skeptic?

Hey Paul,

You seem to be a healthy and dedicated skeptic. Fortunately, the long-awaited "Theory of Everything" has been written.

I would be happy to share this new information with you. However, it may modify your current beliefs...if you understand it correctly.

Sincerely,
Dave

About replication on the Internet: phase I study will investigate not guarantee that only these words I typed. I could list the entire study. Experience not found a correlation study with words, but with click and typing them.
