Wasserman, G D (1955). Some comments on methods and statements in
parapsychology and other sciences. British Journal for the Philosophy of
Science, 6, (pp. 122-140) Abstract Recent
criticisms of parapsychology have been concerned with philosophical issues
regarding the interpretation of results. It has been argued, for example,
that experiments are not repeatable at will, that there are no adequate
techniques of control, and that the data may cast doubt upon the validity of
significance tests instead of lending support to telepathic theories. The
author repudiates each of these arguments on logical grounds.
