My message didn't discuss any faulty research - that was Bob Ettinger's
message.  My message suggested that there are vast quantities of valid
research available in the form of the financial statements of Las Vegas
gambling establishments. All of it negative for practical TK, but
positive for the house. Actually, I daresay that the Las Vegas data is
negative for all practical psi powers, since all of them could be used
to improve the odds in one or another game of chance.

Pete.
