I'm still a little confused as to what you would expect a skeptic to do there. What exactly would I be testing? Or do I just go there, dig a hole, and have an experience, like CE5, and I'd be converted. Who is the the last scientist who was converted?

Well the problem here is that his credibility, knowledge, and experience isn't really coming though in the show. You see hints of it, like when he express skepticism when that giant magnet was rolled out. But it's mostly hidden by the show's production.
True - that is a legitimate criticism. The television medium has its challenges, but it also a powerful medium to inform the general public & stimulate interest and discussion.

The TV medium may have that potential, but what actually happens, more often than not, is uncritical acceptance of subjective beliefs. From my seat, that’s much more of a cultural hindrance than positive contribution.

That’s a fair criticism. I can see your point of view. Give me some examples of truly positive contributions over the last 30 years that have truly advanced and elevated the discussion & research regarding these topics.
