Institute of Noetic Sciences 

I see you reverted my adjustment to the Stephen Barrett criticism of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.  I believe you acted in good faith.  I also believe the revert was erroneous.

Barrett's list is published information.  Counting the number of organizations on the list does not represent original research.  It is simply a way of summarizing the context in which Barrett's criticism occurred.  It is information that is directly and explicitly supported by the source.  It is a routine calculation that most people over the age of six could perform for themselves.

As the article stands now, it is misleading and unbalanced.  A casual reader gets the impression that Barrett targeted the IONS out for special and specific criticism, when in fact his criticism was spread over hundreds of organizations.

Please undo your revert and/or reply on my talkpage explaining how my changes could be OR.

Best regards,
