Waller argues that if ESP were real, it would be generally accepted by the public. This is because someone with ESP powers could demonstrate these powers convincingly enough to gain public acceptance, wealth, and renown.

Chin argues that it is impossible to demonstrate anything to the satisfaction of all skeptics. Thus, Chin believes that as long as the cultural elite is closed-minded to the possibility of ESP, media reports and public opinion will remain biased against it.

Disagree: Waller and Chin disagree that if ESP were real, it would be accepted by the general public.

Neither Waller nor Chin claims that they believe/don’t believe in ESP. Their disagreement is not about whether ESP is real but whether the public could accept ESP as real.

Chin strongly supports this statement in his argument, but Waller does not give an opinion on this. Waller believes that the public would accept ESP as real but does not indicate that it could be demonstrated to the satisfaction of all skeptics

Neither speaker has an opinion on how strong of a case skeptics have towards ESP.

Waller agrees. He believes that if ESP were real, people would believe in it. If no one believes in it, ESP is unlikely to be real. Chin disagrees. He thinks the public is always be biased in favor of skeptics. If no one believes in ESP, that does not impact whether it's real.

Waller does not provide an opinion on what the general public currently believes, and Chin likely disagrees with this because public opinion is biased in favor of skeptics.
