It goes on...

Raybon Kan gets in on the 15 seconds of infamy currently being dealt to Sensing Murder. And, from memory, this guy has performed as the NZ Skeptics conference before (as has, IIRC, Te Radar), so you can guess his stance.

He makes very valid points about not just Sensing Murder, but psychics in general. He does recommend some good books, but I would also suggest Ian Rowland's Cold Reading book.

While I would like to see some government organisation get involved in investigating the program, I suspect the company behind it has already covered their butt, and somewhere in the end graphics no-one reads there'll be some fine print about "for entertainment purposes only". Oh well.

Still, no doubt, as time goes by, people will remember this event as the time when the police validated psychic involvement. Sigh. Yes, I am cynical.

(Blink of the third eye to Foo again.)
