To do science empirically, you must at least make a prediction and
perform an experiment tha could deny the predicition but actually
confirms it.

Whenever Hal Puthoff has been put to the test this way, he's _failed_.

If you'd read some Martin Gardner, you'd know this.

No. He was a bit of a loon, but for other reasons.

Remind me what wild claims he made?
Without wild claims, this is not comparing like with like.

I'm intollerant of people who live off their own regurgitations.
That's all Puthoff does. He's made no progress in more than 3 decades,
and he and his croneys (such as Ingo Swann) have sucked millions of
dollars off the US tax payer in the process, promising "results within
the next 2 or 3 years" (that's a quote from that Equinox program).

How many chances do you want to give the guy? A second chance? He's blew it.
10 chances? He's had 10 too.
100? Yup, failed every one.
Eventually, you _have_ to be intollerant of such people. To not be
is dishonest to the principles of science.


Anyway, have you spotted most likely error in the Meyer WFC experiments yet?
