The main question in my mind is whether the extensive personally meaningful information that he comes up with is actually from the deceased, or whether it could be coming from telepathy and clairvoyance by the medium combined with subconscious role-playing by him of the personality of the deceased. In other words subconsciously enhanced "super-psi". Of course, this question has been at the forefront since the early days of psychical investigation. Much, but not all, of the information can be explained this way, but I tend to reject the super-psi hypothesis for a number of reasons. Unfortunately it is always lurking in the background. 

I suspect it’s always lurking because it’s not falsifiable.

Depends on the context. Mediumship isn't my forte. But there is a certain hubris with which (so-called) super-psi is rolled out as a jack-of-all-trades, in areas where it is not only falsified, but hopelessly out of its depth.

I meant that I don’t think super-psi is falsifiable. Hence it’s ubiquity.
