	Where did Randi say that?
	How can one already "know" what Randi already "knows"?
	Is this opinion about Randi's spirit based on this homeopathy
	 experiment flap, or on some past opinion?

	I'm not a scientist, "psientist," nor a magician.
	I respect Randi, but I have a job that deals with science, 
	so perhaps I am biased toward things known to be useful.
