I was too hasty in my post. I should have explained this better so here goes. When you make predictions, there is a chance they could be correct. Shall we use flipping a coin? Will it be heads or tails? Statistically there should be a 50/50 chance for either side to be up. So in 100 flips there should be 50 of each. However, this is not always the case. There could be more heads one time or more tails the next. The following link will describe the curve, control charts, and what 3 sigma is. I was commenting that those predictions made could have fallen within the realm of statistical probability.

As a scientist, the website that RadioAstronomer just posted is very important information. Read and learn, since this is one of the most basic aspects of the scientific method.

I will never, ever claim that my ESP could be documented and be verified within mathematical standards. Believe me, I am the first person that will call it impossible to document within scientific standards.

Believe me, this week, I hope like hell that I am wrong. I am praying that I am wrong! I will do anything to make it wrong.

Ah, I understand about statistical probability. There are people alive who would scare you out of your calculator. LOL
