Abstract
Responding to Kalat and Kohn (this issue), I note that new methodologies in parapsychology have produced well controlled, theory-derived, process-oriented experiments with replicability rates comparable to those in psychology. Parapsychologists are not in agreement as to whether psi anomalies constitute instances of perception without sensation. In addition, these anomalies are weak and unstable; consequently, it is not yet clear whether they violare the second law of thermodynamics. As scientists and teachers, we have a professional responsibility to be objective and to allow for discussion of data obtained by rigorous applications of the scientific method.
