As I've mentioned before, the difference between me and Bem is that he reported experimental results that you are supposed to believe while I have not. All I've done is make arguments and you have all the information you need to decide for yourself if my arguments are good or if I'm totally full of shit. If Bem's data is correct then he's made the most important discovery in a thousand years, but is it correct? I would need more information to believe he is, but deciding the credibility of the stuff I typed does not depend on missing data but on judging my logic.
