Rather than devoting their entire lives to exhaustively taking in every shred of could-be evidence they just jump to the position that it is probably all hog wash. Of course troll-bot doesn't do that himself because he values his own projects more, same as we do. But troll-bot just wants everyone to agree that he is superior for holding pseudo-researchers in equal esteem to those investigating quantum mechanics, being as he is in no position to judge either one. I suspect he just lacks our confidence in the peer review process available to every serious researcher in any empirical investigation. If his pseudo-researchers want my respect they can bring what they have to one of those. If the best in the field sign off on their work, then I might give it a little attention stolen away from my own precious projects .. maybe.
The paranormal researchers such as Dean Radin claim there is peer reviewed research. It is called IONS. If any skeptic objects to this, then it could still be possible they are being close minded and jumping to conclusions using their shortcuts:

Hey as long as the organization is in good standing with other well established peer review vehicles fine with me. But if this is just some hack group like Rik's intuitional scientists, shove it, you're not being serious.

Yeah, I doubt if he is willing to dedicate himself to the long path of collecting all the evidence regarding his being full of shit. He really is a slacker-bot.

I am suggesting ..
No need to get all verbose about it. My edit cuts to the chase.

Did you actually read the review? Very well done. Critical and provides supporting evidence. But then you just were jumping to a conclusion.
Typical theist short cut.
