Public  curiosity  ui  ne wpseudoscientific,   semispi r i -tual theories has   s pur r e d  adebunking mood in the scien-tific  community.

Most  scholars  are   r e l uct a ntto spend  t ime  de n yi n g w h a tt h e y  regard  ,as   n on s e n s e ."You never convince thet rue  believer,"  t h e y s a y .

Science   ma g a z i n e  not long' ago called them "intellectual

poisons," and urged moreuniver si t ies and scient i st s toprovide the antidotes.

Scient i st s  sa y  that in thecases   of the more exot ic psy-chic phenomena (par t icular lydemonst rat ions by "gif ted"individuals)   and-  plant r eac-tions (the   b e s t  known exper i -menter uses   a lie  de t e c t o r ) ,m os t e x pe r i m e n t s ,  if not  aU ,do   ' n o t ' produce  consis tentlyrepeatable  results.

A d v o c a t e s  s a y t h e e x pe r i -m e n t  results  depend on  th ee x p e r i m e n t e r ' s   at t i tude.
