Unable to find evidence of PSI That's the operative word all skeptics fling at us. Its the worst insult they can think of.Its the hated thing they all were. Blackmore included.<br /> <br />Humorously she is wrong. Chris Carter was able to find positive signals in her data tables. Suggesting she was just mathematically incompetent.<br />So she has beaten herself up for decades, for nothing. She describes herself as believing anything, once. Meaning she was unable to form an opinion to dispute anything. A noteworthy feature of skeptoids. The shock realisation that they have been unforgiveably gullible causes decades of self loathing. I see it as a lack of a brain volume control on one's amount of investment in a concept, in these people.Its either all on or all off. Either being totally possessed , by a concept, or utter rejection and fear of it. A little piece of physical brain development is missing. They are unable to take things generally with a grain of salt. Most people's survival strategy. Meaning they are using their belief volume control. But that's an evil metaphor that skeps are blind to. Have seen that defect in Dawkins too.
