Speaking for Chris Green (dare I do that without seeming to attempt to
channel his thoughts?? heh, heh, just a little psi-humor), I have to
believe that he's trying to convey that this topic is being beaten to
death. (But maybe that's just because it conveys what I'm thinking.) My

On related, but not so personal note, I went to see the "mentalist" who goes by
the stage name Banachek last night. He was originally trained, as a teenager,
by James Randi to fool psychologists
Do we know exactly when Bem did the studies that were published in JPSP?
If he'd been doing studies for decades he could eventually have gathered enough
type 1 errors to result in the publication we saw in JPSP.

Addendum:
Bem's theories clearly violate classical (Newtonian) mechanics.
However, contemporary physics (quantum theory -> string theory) seems to be in
an 'anything is possible' mode, so I'm not sure that a working physicist would
make an a priori judgement on precognition.

The Skeptical Inquirer (http://www.csicop.org/) has a series of articles about
l'affaire Bem, including argument with psychologist James Alcock. I don't
think that any physicists were involved, though.
For what it's worth, I knew Darryl slightly when he was a graduate student (we
