What is needed to be accepted by science as having discovered something inexplicable and amazing is not just someone claiming to have had some significant results in the past, especially in situations where it isn't obvious to independent outsiders how good an experimental setup was or how many 'bad' results might have been explained away and forgotten.
ESP researchers have to be able to demonstrate that in a setting which no-one could rationally find fault with, they can on an ongoing basis get significantly better-than-chance results in experiments more often than would be predictable by chance.
