40. They're glossing over important details in the Pam Reynolds case that do not support their theory.

This is easily explained I think. In the very next paragraph from the article it says at approximately 8:40 a.m. Pam Reynolds claimed she "“pop” out of her body and hover above it, watching as doctors worked on her body".

Read this.

At 8:40 a.m., the tray of surgical instruments was uncovered, and Robert Spetzler began cutting through Pam’s skull with a special surgical saw that produced a noise similar to a dental drill. At this moment, Pam later said, she felt herself “pop” out of her body and hover above it, watching as doctors worked on her body.

The big glaring issue there is that she wasn't near death when the alleged out of body incident began, she was simply under general anesthesia at that point which was administered about 7:15 a.m. According to the article Mrs. Reynolds heart was stopped at around 11:05 a.m. and her EEG flattened into total silence a few minutes later.

Read this.

"At 11:25 a.m., the team tilted up the head of the operating table, turned off the bypass machine, and drained the blood from her body. Pamela Reynolds was clinically dead. "

So basically the best case is this Pam Reynolds out of Body experience episode but if you read carefully doesn't even fit a timeline that coincides with her clinical death.
