Nerd News: Psychology Journal to Publish ESP "Experiment Results"

Aaaaaand you don't need psychic powers to know that a gazillion scientists are responding to this with *facepalm.*  OK, so you can argue that the publication is part of academic freedom (just like freedom of speech and expression in general, academic freedom is good as an ideal but also because it soon lets you know who all the loons and crackpots are), but I'm more inclined to agree with this:

“It’s craziness, pure craziness. I can’t believe a major journal is allowing this work in,” Ray Hyman, an emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and longtime critic of ESP research, said. “I think it’s just an embarrassment for the entire field.”

As the news article does point out, "So far, at least three efforts to replicate the experiments have failed."   Hmmmmm.  If you cannot replicate an experiment, then your results are inherently suspect.
