Nu har jeg ikke set nærmere på testen, men det skulle undre mig om der ikke var et element af statistik involveret så der i et stort antal gange skal gættes rigtigt.

James Randi (born August
7, 1928), stage name The Amazing
Randi, is a stage magician and scientific
skeptic best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. Born Randall James Hamilton
Zwinge, in Toronto, Canada, Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational
Foundation (JREF).
The JREF provides the famous million
dollar challenge offering a prize of US $1,000,000 to anyone who can
demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural or occult power or event, under test conditions agreed to
by both parties. He was a regular guest on the The Tonight Show Starring
Johnny Carson, and is occasionally featured on the television program
Penn & Teller:
Bullshit!.
Randi has worked as a professional stage magician and escapologist since 1946, initially under his birth
name, Randall Zwinge. Early in his career, Randi was part of numerous stunts
involving his escape from jail cells and safes. On February 7, 1956, he appeared live on The Today Show and remained in a sealed
metal coffin submerged in a hotel swimming pool for 104 minutes, breaking what
was said to be Houdini's record of 93
minutes.[9][10]
Randi was the host of The Amazing
Randi Show on New York radio station WOR-Radio in the mid-1960s.[11] He also hosted numerous television
specials and went on several world tours. Then Randi appeared as "The Amazing
Randi" on a television show entitled Wonderama from 1967 to 1972.[12] In the February 2, 1974 issue of Abracadabra (a British conjuring
magazine), Randi defined the magic community saying, "I know of no calling which
depends so much upon mutual trust and faith as does ours." In the December 2003
issue of the The Linking Ring, the monthly publication of The
International Brotherhood of Magicians, Points to Ponder: Another Matter of
Ethics, p. 97, it is stated, "Perhaps Randi's ethics are what make him
Amazing" and "The Amazing Randi not only talks the talk, he walks the walk."

Den var værre. Den bliver jeg jo nødt til at æde.
Men så lad mig på opportunistisk vis vende argumentet: Som tryllekunstner, illusionist or what have you, er han netop istand til at vurdere mange fupnumre og ved hvordan de kan testes. Men hi-fi er selvfølgelig anderledes og lidt langt væk fra hans sædvanlige græsgange, lyder det til, selvom jeg da syntes det er frisk nok at han sætter så mange penge på spil.
Du mener så tilsyneladende at han vil opstille betingelserne så stringente at det er umuligt at verificere noget som helst og det kan da også være du har ret. Man må næsten formode han har testet metoden nogle gange først.
