Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

The goal posts are constantly moved on researchers in those areas. The most current work in psi is more scrupulous than any other field and yet the critics continually demand more safeguards against bias when the results are significant.

Do you have any examples? I don't think I've ever seen a study like that where the results were replicatable and not better explained by other variables.
