    I think you've misunderstood what's gone on here. The studies are considered "sufficient" only so far as they've passed the initial peer-review process; that is, they were looked over for types, basic statistical mistakes, and consistency in their own conclusions. That isn't an indication that their conclusions are correct at all.

Peer review is much more than that. You're probably right in this case though since parapsychology papers tend to get published in crappy journals with low standards.
