Moreover, he cherry-picked my publications, focusing only on my alternative and complementary health work, while ignoring all my most important publications on health care finance and biostatistical research.

Feel free to scroll through his moronic comments on https://www.skepticforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1634 – just search for “SkepticReport” to get past all the unrelated stuff.

He clearly either did not read my critique of the sham Rosa therapeutic touch article in JAMA on April Fool’s Day, 1998 or, perhaps more seriously, simply couldn’t understand the simple statistics presented in the article that made it clear that none of the conclusions advanced by the Rosa gang were in fact supported by their data. See, for example: Cox, T. (2003). A nurse-statistician reanalyzes data from the Rosa therapeutic touch study, Journal of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, 9(1): 58-64.

As to the Randi Challenge, it is, of course, a joke. Unlike science, the entire effort in the Randi Challenge is to set someone up who likely does not understand experimental design, and create a testing paradigm guaranteed to result in testee failure. Then, of course, one does not, in general, advance directly to the $1,000,000 prize. One generally has to pass through multiple levels of challenges to get to that point. Since there is generally a high probability of failing at each testing level due to poorly designed testing protocols, the likelihood of passing all the different challenges is millions of times smaller than the standards any reputable scientist would employ.

What are Cox’ arguments? All Cox does is say that the reanalysis suggests contradictions to the author’s conclusions.”

As in the standard approach of showing that the data do not support a specific set of conclusions…

I’m guessing that SkepticReporter has no scientific credentials, no scholarly preparation, and quite likely that the closest he comes to publishing is making whacky posts on websites…

Turns out Claus Larsen is a fraud. He’s pretending he has a huge audience for the purposes of bullying other skeptics.

I did get three pages in, though.

the tl;dr is that if Claus saw anyone on a plane with a gun, even an air marshall, he would murder him on the spot with his own wings. I mean hands.

Don’t you mean that “Even though Claus to cut or divide with a saw anyone covering or wrapping a flat or level surface accompanied by a hired killer, level an oxygen Male name, he would flock of crows him atop the stain accompanied by his possess wings” ?
