Obvious joke is obvious.
"The cure for bad information is more information."
I thought it was interesting that in two of those articles, Chris Roe quoted Colman (1987) as saying the history of parapsychology had been "disfigured by numerous cases of fraud involving some of the most highly respected scientists, their colleagues and participants". In both cases the quotation comes via works by Richard Gross, but the source seems to be A. M. Colman's book, "Facts, fallacies and frauds in psychology".
As Roe points out, the number of cases of publicly proven fraud in parapsychology is very small - essentially just those of Samuel G. Soal in the 1940s and 1950s and Walter J. Levy in the 1970s. In a paper, Rhine also mentioned a dozen unnamed "unreliable" researchers in the 1940s and 1950s - apparently most of them outside academia and/or outside the USA. Evidently suspicions have been expressed about others. But on that basis it's difficult to understand how Colman could have written what he did. (Judging by Amazon/Google Books, the quotation seems to have been removed from the latest (2015) edition of Gross's psychology textbook.)
