Anyone interested in looking at his protocol in greater detail (in a paper 
from several years ago), and his own analysis of the risks, precautions and 
post-cautions, might turn to:

People made angry by the very idea of psi will find aspects to infuriate

says blithely (I paraphrase). Others might care to examine Ertel's 
reasoning and results.
