Suppose you'd confidently written that in 1973
(as surely you would have done, since "the entire
matter is so stupid it's just embarrassing").
Would you have suffered a moment's chagrin, in
1974, upon opening your copy of that NO-BULLSHIT journal and reading
Targ, R. & Puthoff, H. "Information transfer
under conditions of sensory shielding," Nature 252, 602607?
How would you have felt in 1980, reading in Nature 284, 191 (13 March 1980)
"Information transmission in remote viewing experiments"

Oh, but that was so so so long ago, back before
all scientists, engineers and the editors of
NATURE were smart enough to know that "If there
were any truth to this sewage it would have been
proven beyond doubt to everybody's satisfaction centuries ago."
