If *nobody else* studying it is good, an unqualified *nobody* studying it is
even better, is it not?

Besides, the nature of paranormal claims is such that they can not be
conclusively disproven. There will never be a study to disprove that which
is not a theory.

Paranormal is by definition outside the scope of science. You cannot prove
"the answer the other way".
