Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

[Simon Moon]

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.

If you refuse to learn anything, then anything is possible. In this case, you refuse to learn enough math to determine a simple yes/no question. You also refuse to take the word of an expert in the area because it disagrees with what you *want* to believe.

As others have pointed out, that isn't open mindedness. It is being a lazy troll.

Now, you said you don't *want* to be a troll. Good. Then go learn something about what you are critiquing. At least enough to do basic math and science. Otherwise, resign yourself to trolldom.

I would usually recommend a book like, "A Demon Haunted World" to TD, as an antidote to his poor critical thinking skills and gullibility.

But he has made it clear, that he does not want information that might refute his favorite magical story.

So, it is probably a waste of time.
