Except that flawed experimental design or flawed execution of an experiment can invalidate its results. If his best buddy Newage McHippystein is running the experiment and doing a bad job of making sure he actually doesn't ingest, yanno, food or drink, then that is a serious problem.

As I recall the first set of tests done a few years ago showed him loosing weight during the time while he was observed not to eat. the only thing we have found from the short tests done up until this point is that his body apparently recycles urine.

Another reason for being suspicious of Dr. Shah is that he is not presenting his evidence (including his alleged round-the-clock film surveillance of Jani) to a scientific journal or committee. He gave the results of the study to a blogger.

I’d love to see the video of his “gargling” and “bathing activities,” which appear to be a shift from the no-liquids rule from earlier in the experiment.

" Sanal Edamaruku, president of the Indian Rationalist Association, criticized the experiment for allowing Jani to move out of a certain CCTV camera's field of view, meet devotees and leave the sealed test room to sunbathe. Edamaruku felt that the regular gargling and bathing activities were not sufficiently monitored,[45] and accuses Jani of having had some "influential protectors" who denied Edamaruku permission to inspect the project during its operation."

How, then, do you establish credibility? Do you just believe everything you're told? If something contradicts your prior knowledge, do you just change your opinion of everything immediately? Or do you seek to verify or confirm that what you're presented with is true?

I have no problem reevaluating my assumptions. But "Look, this guy doesn't have to eat!" with nothing credible to confirm it isn't anywhere near enough.

I think you should just consider the possibility of being true. I dont know if its true, but I dont have a preference, like i feel some people would not like to find evidence of it not being a fraud; i just want to know whats true. I dont get angry or assume all these "paranormal" are people trying to fool you but I would like to see more studies about the subject. People are never question "mainsteam" beliefs; but "unpopular" beliefs people dont even want to check.

Of course it's possible. There's a possibility that Godzilla is real, that doesn't mean it's justified to believe it, even a little bit.

Giving equal status to contradicting arguments isn't a great strategy. It's trivially easy to propose something, just doing that doesn't mean your idea has any merit.
