I'm surprised no one has mentioned one of our "saints..."
Namely James "The Amazing Randi" Randi has died, he was 93.
He had a good long life, authored several books dealing with claims of the paranormal, and how easy it was just about all the time to expose them as fakes.
His million dollar challenge to "psychics," "faith healers," etc, never was claimed.
Despite the frauds pulling any and every trick they could think of.
