What is the protocol? If I were a TT practitioner I would be reluctant to accept the challenge unless I knew the protocol ahead of time so that I could see if it was fair. - CLamb Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:16:09 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/2052-jref-and-phact-issue-challenge-to-qtherapeutic-touchq-practitioners.html#comment-26479 What happens if you give a test and nobody shows up? We're gonna find out. - skepticnj Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:40:28 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/2052-jref-and-phact-issue-challenge-to-qtherapeutic-touchq-practitioners.html#comment-26478 That's not sad, it's fantastic! Do you want to show how easy it is to approach a question scientifically? How it's really child's play to think critically? How little the scientific community resembles a secretive cabal or priesthood that hides their secrets away from the prying eyes of the public? Emily Rosa's experiment is perfect. Look, a 9 year old can do it, with no special training or initiation or anything. You don't even need a huge budget. All that's required is that you have a brain and you know how to use it. This may be embarrassing for agencies like the NCCAM, but I wouldn't call it sad. - lytrigian Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:58:08 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/2052-jref-and-phact-issue-challenge-to-qtherapeutic-touchq-practitioners.html#comment-26477 D.J., It's kind of sad that a nine-year-old Emily Rosa could easily disprove TT. Why would TT believers think that studies conducted by National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine would be any more relative than actual medical and scientific study?! - Mike Syxx Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:00:30 +0100
