As long as there are claims out there being made by smart sounding researchers who have experiments and claimed evidence for them, then such researchers should be given a full open mind simply because these are researchers who are well trained and educated. It doesn't matter what claim it is whether it be Bigfoot, the afterlife, fairies, or anything else. No shortcuts should be made in these scenarios and a full research would be necessary to draw the right conclusion.

They have already had ample opportunity, and failed.
You keep making the claim that intelligent, smart (sounding) researchers have presented evidence, thing is no one seriously thinks their evidence qualifies as evidence, smart intelligent people should have no problem knowing what kind of evidence they need to present.
I get by 'the right conclusion' you mean 'agree with what i think'. If you have any evidence then present it simple as.
I never said these researchers had actual evidence. All I said was that they claim they have actual evidence and, since they are smart researchers who have had a lot of training and education, then we should not dismiss their claims of evidence through the types of shortcuts skeptics use to dismiss their claims. Rather, we should do full research in order to arrive at the right conclusion as to whether these researchers have real evidence or not.
