Which sentence ? Do you mean this blather ?

"Unless you have a time machine at your disposal neither you or anyone else knows what the facts are."

The facts were reported by reliable witnesses and recorded at the time. I have no good reason to assume they were all lying  
and neither have you. 

No, this is the first sentence.

Personally I have no position on this man.

But you obviously do have a position. You don't accept the words of the witnesses that vouched for his authenticity, otherwise why
would you recommend a 'time machine' to go back and double check ?  Your position is that you aren't going to accept the word of the
witnesses unless you can go back and witness it for yourself.

I'm mostly sceptical of physical mediumship, but I'm impressed that Randi's 'explanation' is probably the most implausible (though I've read enough about Randi to say that I'm not entirely surprised). Seriously, a harmonica hidden in his mouth? Were harmonicas in the late 1800s even small enough to be concealed beneath moustaches? I'm also fairly positive harmonicas and accordions sound quite distinct from each other.

"We have done all that we can do when the critic has nothing left to allege except that the investigator is in the trick. But when he has nothing else left he will allege that... We must drive the objector into the position of being forced either to admit the phenomena as inexplicable, at least by him, or to accuse the investigators either of lying or cheating, or of a blindness or forgetfulness incompatible with any intellectual condition except absolute idiocy."
