Skeptic [[Dave Thomas (physicist)|Dave Thomas]] claimed to find other examples in many texts. While Thomas' methodology was alleged to have been refuted by [[Robert Haralick]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torah-code.org/papers/skeptical_inquirer_02_15_07.pdf |title=Skeptical About the Reasoning of the Bible Code Skeptic |author=Robert M |publisher=torah-code.org |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref> and others, Thomas's criticisms were aimed at Drosnin, whose methodology was actually far worse. (In fact, Drosnin's example of "Clinton" in his first book violated the basic Bible Code concept of "Minimality"; Drosnin's "Clinton" was a completely invalid "code"). In addition, McKay claimed that Drosnin had used the flexibility of Hebrew [[orthography]] to his advantage, freely mixing classic (no vowels, Y and W strictly consonant) and modern (Y and W used to indicate ''i'' and ''u'' vowels) modes, as well as variances in spelling of K and T, to reach the desired meaning. In his television series ''[[John Safran vs God]]'', Australian television personality [[John Safran]] and McKay again demonstrated the "tuning" technique, demonstrating that these techniques could produce "evidence" of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York in the lyrics of [[Vanilla Ice]]'s repertoire. Additionally, "coded" references in non-Torah Bible texts, as for instance the famous [[Number of the Beast]], do not use the Bible code technique. And, the influence and consequences of scribal errors (e.g., misspellings, additions, deletions, misreadings, ...) are hard to account for in the context of a Bible coded message left secretly in the text. McKay and others claim that in the absence of an objective measure of quality and an objective way to select test subjects, it is not possible positively to determine whether any particular observation is significant or not. For that reason, most of the serious effort of the skeptics has been focused on the scientific claims of Witztum, Rips and Gans.
