Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

But what if Dean has performed the file-drawer analysis correctly?  That is a debate right there.  I am now open minded to what Dean or any paranormal proponent would have to argue in favor of Dean performing the analysis correctly.

So you're literally asking us "what if we had actual evidence for this thing"?  Then...we'd have actual evidence for said thing.  You can ask "what if" about anything.  What if we had evidence that the sun is really moved by a really buff guy in a chariot?

Asking "what if" is absolutely not a good basis to accept something as true or likely true or even possible.
