Empty Skepticism
When someone shows skepticism about certain claims to knowledge, what is required is that the ball be put firmly in his court. He is the one who must produce justification for his position. Skepticism without grounds is empty, and empty suggestions need not be regarded seriously.

No! I had not heard. I am saddened by the news. I interviewed him in the last 1970s when I was doing stage magic on a small scale, and we kept in touch for a while. I've read many of his books and watched him on YouTube. He was indeed Amazing.
