... snip ...
Randi has psychic power, and doesn't realise it. Like Dr Susan Blackmore,
the skeptical parapsychologist, who likewise can ensure by her presence
that paranormal phenomena cannot occur, he epitomises and channels the
inverse-religious fears of a large sector of the public that paranormal
effects can only exist at pain of their losing their familiar world. This
is a respectable fear and should not be mocked.
Randi can be subverted by affirmation. This was proved in 1992 when he
ran what was supposed to be a debunking programme on dowsers on British
TV. The dowsers (or some of them) conferred beforehand and set up a
"protection" so that they could perform normally. Result, three out of
four tests proved dowsing. Randi tried to pull the programme, the
producer refused and witnesses say "he threw a wobbler" in the control
room.
