Does he bring closure? Has this been documented?

Are skeptics only interested in re-affirming their worldview, or are they genuinely interested in trying to counter the spread of hocus-pocus and twaddle in the public forum?

On the issue of motives, is it right that someone uses mentalist trickery to lie to people about their dead relatives (when he gets "hits") and makes his living from such lying?

There are other ethical/philosophical issues in there too.
