Jxm I inserted the phrase purporting to examine back in January  I believe it is the most appropriate phrasing because    PEAR only claims to be examining psi legitimate scientists dont think that there is any psi to examine    Even if telekinesis were real PEARs experiments wouldnt have proven its existence anyway because of their methodological flaws    The reliable sources seem to be suggesting though not outright stating that PEAR was probably involved in deliberate fraud  The fact that one of PEARs own staff was an experimental subject who had a significant effect on their results coupled with the fact that PEARs results are not reproducible seems to have created some suspicion  While Im not proposing that we add PEAR to one of Wikipedias lists of hoaxes I dont think that it would be appropriate to use any language that might give the reader the wrong impression  The mainstream seems to regard PEAR not as honest but misguided bunglers but rather as malicious pseudoscientists who started at their conclusion and worked backwards  We should avoid asserting that PEAR actually studied telekinesis in Wikipedias voice
