My comment was not a criticism. Whether materialization is or is not 
a fact is a scientific issue and must be settled or not settled using 
the scientific method. An experiment constructed in such a way that 
the demo could easily have been achieved by fraud does not satisfy 
the requireents of the scientific method. Replicating the experiment 
under controlled conditions does.

If it can be credibly demonstrated that materialization is a facr, 
then it becomes more reasonable to assume that demos in prior times 
were real. Otherwise this assumption is somewhat risky.
