The studies published by people who are really into ESP and paranormal ideas are annoying like this.

It's an exercise in making papers that look like they have vaguely decent protocol and statistical methodology, but arrive at insane, obviously wrong results through cleverly non-obvious, intricate flaws.

Like the Underhanded Code Contests, but for research.

What if I told you that 90% of all research findings are like that.

I'd ask you to show me the pre-registered cross sectional study you did to come up with that number =)
