What makes this a great piece, in your opinion?

I feel like it's kind of cheap and doesn't really back up any of the criticisms it seems to level against him. It makes claims that he's hindered "serious" academic research regarding ESP but doesn't really back that up with any kind of evidence that shows the research is serious (how serious can it be if it hasn't produced any evidence?).

I don't disagree that Randi wasn't flawless or perfect but this kind of hit piece is both silly and pointless.
