The identity, author, date and DRAFT status of the document four connections rest on.

“Separate written reviews were prepared by Dr. Utts and Dr. Hyman. They exchanged reviews with other panel members who then tried to reach a consensus.”

That Utts and Hyman wrote SEPARATE reviews.

What this page does not support: Any claim that Utts "co-authored" the evaluation. The report says the opposite, in its own executive summary.

“A statistically significant laboratory effort has been demonstrated in the sense that hits occur more often than chance. … It is unclear whether the observed effects can unambiguously be attributed to the paranormal ability of the remote viewers as opposed to characteristics of the [experiments].”

The report usually cited as having ended the program concedes the first point in its own executive summary. A site quoting only the second half would be quoting it selectively.

Where no sheet is shown, the quote was still read off the page, rendered from the file we hold. A page image has not been prepared for the web for that page yet.

What this document is used for, page by page

Every claim on this map that rests on this document, and every claim tested against it and deliberately not used — in the order you would meet them reading the file itself. Where the check was written down, our wording is followed by the document’s own sentence, so you can hold the two side by side. 2 of 5 name a page.
