Catch 22. The best way to avoid hard facts is to scare away scientists. ;)

But I agree, this is just garbage pseudoscience. I listened to the Banned & Reported episode, and TL;DR the Telepathy Tapes experiments had a non-blinded 'facilitator' touching the blindfolded 'psychic.' My mind immediately went to Clever Hans, before the podcast hosts even brought it up later in the episode.

Just watch any Derren Brown video to see how easy it is to 'cue' someone from across the room. This is James Randi 101, folks...
