To summarize Cude's position:
He does not believe in the scientific method, replication, high signal
to noise ratios, peer review, calorimetry or the laws of thermodynamics.
To be exact, he believe that whatever pops into his own mind, or what he
says "I believe," automatically overrules all of the above and the other
400 years of academic science.
He does believe in ESP. He thinks that people operating mass
spectrometers in blind tests can magically know whether heat was
produced in a given experiment. They are biased by this
magically-acquired knowledge. You would think that people with such
awesome mental powers would also be imbued with a modicum of objectivity
and self-knowledge too, but maybe not. I don't know enough about ESP to
judge.
Very interesting! But not science, as I said.
