Exactly. Why bother reading even a single word of a scientific paper if 
that's your preordained position?

And if it's not, what would satisfy Isabelle, who began by stating:

"I totally believe in psi... I simply have doubts that someone has 
figured out how to prove it exists, without cheating somehow."

This is a very odd declaration, not the sort of thing one might propose 
about anything other than "faith-based" (i.e. public-evidence-free) 
propositions, I'd have thought.
