Forgot to address Rhiner. I was thinking of the woman. Child psychologist. She studied poltergeist activity in children thinking it might be evidence of telekinesis. There should be a Turing Award for that kind of "science."
Quotes are up to you.
You won't prove your assertions, so it's up to me to prove the negative. Gotcha.

They've each produce books on the subject of ESP. The fact that they considered it at one time is easy enough to see.
Why mock people as freaks for coming up with testing methods that demonstrate that ESP isn't happening? All of those people have that in common BTW - they all considered it an rejected it after testing and consideration. Why demean them for deciding that it isn't reliable? That it violates the currently understood laws of conservation of energy? That it is usually attributable to statistical probability rather than paranormal forces? Isn't that what the scientific method is there for?
