Within this l'il snippet, two of the many thoughts that James Randi shared of are easily observed within the life that you and I live.

Firstly, the warranted and compassionate outing of charlatans may not always and meaningfully lead to the practitioner(s) of charlatanism, and to their followers, to abandon the quakery(ies) that are not warrantedly demonstrated as being reasonably true.

"Much to my surprise, the Tonight Show episode didn't have much effect on Uri Geller's career. Neither, did the book that I wrote about him."

Lastly, this, too, is one of the many thoughts that James Randi shares of and which oft emerge when exploring charlatanism:

"Why people are so drawn to the irrational, is something that has always puzzled me."
