Because a truly skeptical position would be a very uncertain one.

In no other field of scientific endeavor do otherwise intelligent people feel free to make public claims based on prejudice and ignorance. Yet in relation to psychic phenomena, committed materialists feel free to disregard the evidence and behave irrationally and unscientifically, while claiming to speak in the name of science and reason. They abuse the authority of science and bring rationalism into disrepute.

The fact that you can forge a twenty dollar bill doesn't prove that all twenty dollar bills are forgeries.
