I hate to admit this but the first project I had as a UNIVAC II programmer was to review the results of the ESP tests. What I found was that the results were cascaded. That is, if a group from sheer extraction from the theory of probablility had better scores than the rest, then the winning group was considered more ESP capable. That group then became the new group used for testing and on and on. Finally a very ESP sensitive group was heralded as worthy of more testing AND GRANTS. Yup, we proved it was sham ststistics but the grants just came rolloing in.
We went on to complete a concordance of the Bible. AND then our first cut and fill program which was a commercial success.

Apparently Dell has already made a few machines and they are in quiet circulation. Expected release date is May-June
