So a Cornell professor publishing a peer-reviewed paper in one of the
most prestigious journals of his discipline fails the test of being
somebody you respect, simply because you don't like his results. The
term "barricaded prejudice" comes to mind. At this point you're just
being ridiculous. Awaiting further replication is sensible; implying
that Bem and the journal's reviewers and editors are liars and idiots
is... not.
