James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all


(Via Gizmodo)
So it looks like the gauntlet's been thrown down (again).
Backed up this time by, apparently, *presses pinkie to corner of mouth* one million dollars...

Peter s:
I guess my concern is whether such an experiment could be run in a convincing way...
Good point. I assume it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. Not for $1M, surely.
Otherwise, there would be ways to "rig" the results... say, using a medium/high output impedance amp+insensitivie speakers (or highly damped amp & overdamped spkrs) and a ref "cheap" cable that has much higher inductance (under normal load) than the 7k variety...
First, he/she must have a “media presence,” which means having been published, written about, or known to the media in regard to his/her claimed abilities or powers

Surely that suggests most reviewers and any cable manufacturer with a web site that makes claims about amazing powers or abilities of their products in relation to "Monster Cable" fare. (Monster Cable appears to be JREF chosen reference...i.e. extremely expensive wire but not "crazy extreme" prices).

A million bucks is a milllion bucks!
Why did I read through this? I will give you $1,000,000 if you tell me why.
Bjesien,

Because your Papua New Guinea Fertility statue needs recharging from the Water Tank Tweak and so you ended up wasting time surfing the web, instead of pursuing more enjoyable activities...

Now cough up the million!
