You mean like this?
Randi's not without detractors. While he insists he conducts fair, double-blind tests, Gary Schwartz, a University of Arizona professor and an expert on the paranormal, says Randi alters testing parameters. "The phenomena are very sensitive," says Schwartz. "He doesn't optimize conditions."
- Mike Guska, who failed to prove he could find gold, agrees. He says taking the "Challenge" in an office threw off his channeling ability. Guska wants to retake it: "They're going to have to come to me."

I think he would hear me out and test me if he wants to, don’t you?
See the big bold dash (
-) there Edge? That is where Lindsey Gerdes, the guy writing the article stops talking about Schwartz and starts talking about you. (By the way, I pointed out this story to you when I read it in Newsweek over a year ago). Gary Schwartz was not talking about you. Sorry to burst your bubble.
What I have done with the protocol is optimize the conditions and still it’s a double blind test.
I have never seen any indication that you understand what a double-blind test is. Last I saw, you thought it meant that the target was placed in
two containers.
We were learning to build the protocol as you and I went along in this post, since this has never been done before, “optimizing the conditions”, taking in all parameters so, all the participants would be satisfied with the test.
But that was too hard for RemieV, and I don’t want to hear the excuse that I was incoherent, bull spit!
Edge, you are incoherent. People here have been telling you this for years. You cannot seem to maintain a consistant train of thought. Do you remember all the things you have said about your dowsing, how the rod was nearly ripped out of your hands, how dowsing violates Newton's third law and all that stuff? You are practically babbling. I've looked at your protocols and I can't see that you have a clue how to run a double-blind test. You go off rambling about "black sands" or totally unrelated stuff.
Sand would have brought interferences if I accepted that as a dummy targets.
I seen through the bullspit and they didn’t like that, in M.H.O...
What does sand do? There is sand or the same minerals that are in sand all over the place where you are dowsing for gold. If it doesn't affect you there, it is unlikely to affect you on a test. This is another good example of you being incoherent.
If you didn’t understand anything that I wrote or said then we wouldn’t be having this conversation would we?
It is out of morbid curiosity and maybe the hope that someday you will join us in the real world that we continue to answer (as best we can) your weird posts.
Tricky says,
If someone can prove dowsing works then it should be easy to get the job, especially for me.
Then why don't you prove to a mining company that dowsing works. You do it in the field, right? Just invite them on one of your prospecting tours. Or say to them, "Without looking at your maps of un-mined ore, I'll show you exactly where it is and it will match what your geologists say." You don't think a mining company wouldn't jump all over that.
Of course, it would help if you were coherent.
Dowsing has been around as long as geology, Edge. Why haven't dowsers been a part of mining operations? I'll tell you why. Because it doesn't work.
I’ll beat the price of any geologists pay.
I'll bet you would. With all your "talent" you are still not rolling in dough. You'd probably work for near minimum wage because you don't have a talent you can sell.
I would give it a try it would be a great experiment.
Could I go into a tunnel and find what they missed? I think so.
Then go talk to them and convince them you can do this. Be aware though that mining operations do not remove every speck of ore or minerals. They only do it when it is economic to do so.
Still, finding the big veins without geologic maps would be pretty convincing if you could do it. You wouldn't need to go into the tunnels. You could do it from the surface.
Tricky asks,
Why haven't you applied for one of those high-paying jobs at a mining company, Edge? You wouldn't even have to dig the gold yourself.
I like mining for gold, but you never know I might.
You could still mine for gold. I believe you have indicated that the dowsing is a small part, time-wise, of your mining. You could do it for them in a couple of hours and still have plenty of time to do your own mining. Heck, you might even get access to some richer hunting grounds.
