They all agree to the terms of the test beforehand, so when they fall short the excuses start. Generally culminating in accusing Randi of cheating, etc. Or hell, just fabricate a quote out of thin air that he endorses genocide. Doesn't matter that it's utterly false, once you've established that James Randi is a horrible, terrible person to expect people who make promises to actually deliver on them.
