That implies there's an effect to amplify.

Often it's right there in the paper. The author will come up with some hogwash about ESP not being "perfect", and then go on to use that to justify the dismissal of negative results. Of course this is terrible science, which is one of the reasons that ESP papers very rarely (if ever!) appear in a journal with any kind of decent reputation.

Galileo was a man of science oppressed by the irrational and superstitious. Today, he is used by the irrational and superstitious who claim they are being oppressed by science - Mark Crislip
