Human predictor accuracy tops out at 90%

Re: Human predictor accuracy tops out at 90%
Yep! This is one of my favorite "tests" when it comes to the skeptic screaming about how inaccurate psychics can be. In the real world, witnessing something that happens within a matter of seconds like this, can't be accurately described by most anyone and you will get different in-put from each person witnessing the very same event... it goes back to my movie analogy.

I thought this was relevant to the discussion of predictions since it shows that there is an upper limit to how when a person can be described. I think it also might be related to the accuracy of eyewitness reports.

See, I have a very limited twitter account, and everything it asked about was technology and gadgets.
I think it's much more like a cold reader. It only asks questions that it already knows (or thinks it knows) the answer to!  Hey, you there. Yes, you.
If what I say sounds like the teacher from Charlie Brown (Wah wahh woohh wuh waah), then you should try college. It's fun, and only costs you your soul and several tens of thousands of dollars.  “I agree that by the standards of any other area of science that remote viewing is proven“ - Richard Wiseman Let's make directional hypotheses, test them repeatedly, replicate experiments, and publish results! Yay, science!
