Sheldrake is my go-to example of bad science.

In one of his experiments monitored by another scientist, when the dog didn't respond in a way that met Sheldrake's criteria, Sheldrake changed the criteria in mid-experiment.

That one incident alone should be enough to dismiss any results coming from Sheldrake. He's not only dishonest but blithely unaware that he's being blatantly so.
