Re: why won't the doubter discuss this post #6 or #88 and ohers?

I was replying to the excuse RT had posted, so if you want proof, read his post.

I don't see any posts from a RT??????


Betz had over 500 dowsers who failed. Is that enough, or did you want more?

I thought his results were no good because he only used one Dowser

Err, OK... then try "RealdeTayopa."

So you didn't actually read the account of the Scheunen test. Am I surprised? Heck no, same ol' stuff. He performed the test with over 500 experienced dowsers. Repeated trials on many of them. Results were overwhelming failure. I would consider a test of this scale to be a "study" of dowsing.

Dell, you continue to refer to Carl and Randi's challenges as a publicity and sales gimmicks.

What does Carl sell?

What does he stand to gain from offering his challenge money?

I am sorry I didn't know you were refering to Realde. I hope you will except my excuse.

Most of us do not think of this Scheunen test as the Betz report. In fact most people refer to this piece of garbage as the BARN report. Excuse me for asking...is this the only study you have? All our test and experiments are right here on T-Net.....No more excuses...Post your material....Art

Very good question af1733.
What does Carl sell?....I have heard some rumors. Please tell us if you have ANY REAL FACTS.
What does he stand to gain from offering his challenge money? He gets to keep his REPUTATION...JUST LIKE RANDI.....Art

Your response makes no sense, Art.

I should tell you if I have any "real facts"? I asked a question, Art. Of course I don't have facts, otherwise I would have told you something. Do you see the difference here?

I can't find anything for sale on his site, so I'd have to say he's not selling anything.

But please, your rumors have been so accurate in the past. Tell us what you've heard...

I stand corrected....I have saw no one trying to sell any thing on this forum....

Now this is just funny. You made a statement then turn around and admit you're only half right. :D

This is a perfect example of dowsers and their wishy-washy ways. Half the time dowsers love this test as they feel it proves dowsing somehow, and the other half of the time they dismiss it once they finally comprehend its findings.

Ahhh, so now the barn report has no merit? You were singing a different song a month ago, Art.

Let's be honest with ourselves;

Art has no idea what he believes, but the skeptics are wrong.
Realde has every answer under the sun, but not to the questions asked here.
Dell sells treasure-seeking equipment that he claims do nothing, but accuses Carl of running a sales gimmick when he sells nothing.

I have to wonder if dowsers even read their own posts sometimes....

[=xupz link= End result: Skeptics will never believe a dowser, EVER, and a dowser will never pass a single dowsing test. Stalemate.

Incredible. I don't know if you meant to do this or not, but in those short three sentences, you just accurately summed up all the postings in roughly the last couple of days.
