| Yeah, I've got it. I haven't read it yet. The author, Ray Hyman,
is generally considered the most moderate remaining member of the
CSICOP executive committee. The paper was "invited" probably to
compensate for the basically pro-parapsychology paper that was
published there four years ago.
From skimming, I get the impression that this is fairly typical
Hyman. He sticks to areas where he has strong arguments and ignores
those areas where he is weak. He presents the opposing side accurately
but weakly.
This is perfectly ordinary, and basically acceptable. To get a
complete picture, you need to go elsewhere, but, unlike his friends
in CSICOP he admits there *is* another side, and does not deliberately
mislead and distort.
I expect no surprises, but will, of course read it.
