What makes a group reliable? Someone could come on this forum and say what makes the Law of One reliable . They might point out that Don was crazy and shot himself in the head. And that Carla thinks she had a operation where someone manufactured a kidney out of thin air and replaced it without being in a hospital. What makes channeling reliable? If your experiences don't count for anything then perhaps we are all delusional.
I think you're highlighting the fact here that reliability of that which can't be proven to the senses is subjective. If we're talking about channeling and other such metaphysical fields, then reliability has to be measured by personal resonance and personal verification.
So, unity100 doesn't think these four researchers are reliable. Why? Is it because they research the metaphysical which can't be proven? Or is it because they don't personally resonate? A combination of both? I'm not vouching for their reliability or lack thereof either way.

Also, you seem to associate Don's troubles and Carla's claims with something that someone could use to question the reliability of the material. But would it be a jump to conclusion to think that because of tremendous difficulties or extraordinary claims that the material was possibly influenced?
