Yet to be disproven AFAIK

Of course not, silly boo boo.

You may recall my friend who knew I was having eggplant for dinner that night a couple yrs back 3K miles away. I did not even ask her. She says its routine for her. I know she abhors lying. Her friends/family say its routine with her. How many anectodes like that ?

Can you dismiss them?

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

So yes. Summarily dismissed.
 
Since no one else seemed to want to look at the "evidence", I did so. Pretty pathetic.

The test by the scientist was done as follows: She uses an internet random number generator to generate 5 single digit numbers then picks five cards out of a deck to represent the numbers. The mother looks at each card in turn, asking her son to guess. He gets 3 right out of five.

The scientist then says that the probability of getting one right is 1 out of 9, so getting 3 correct is 1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 or 1 in 729. Any scientist who does not understand binomial probabilities is not much of a scientist. The actual probability of getting 3 out of 5 is 0.011, about 8 times higher than she stated.

Worse than that, the mother quite clearly held each of the cards in a different position. Easily enough to convey a single digit based solely on how she held the card.

I don't think we have to rewrite the laws of the universe yet.

Agreed. I followed it all the way back to its source too, but inasmuch as the merits of the argument are never what Bubba wants to talk about, I focused on the fact that I had to follow something like five links to discover a report that wasn't just clickbait or copypasta. This is what Bubba does. He posts some random piece of tabloid journalism along with some bait questions and then chides his critics for being so silly as to actually engage.

It's worse than that. The child clearly said "A" at 3:52 into the video instead of "8". The mother says he said 8, when Powell asks HIM what he said. So that is 2 out of 5, not 3 out of five.

I hardly know where to begin if this is true. Cooler heads must prevail.

How about expecting the nuts making the claims to prove them? It'd be a nice change

As for your "source":
Spirit Science is composed of many repetitive pseudoscientific and pseudohistorical themes, which are based on claims from cranks, willful ignorance or completely made-up ideas. In the following texts, it's also shown why these ideas are wrong. It would likely be easier to list the beliefs the Spirit "Science" does not adhere to.

Bubba has behaved especially trollishly so far this week. His posts lately seem to be akin to a third-grader yelling your name repeatedly and then saying "Ha! Made ya look!" when you finally acknowledge him. So I wouldn't give more attention to this or any thread than you would give to the antics of a bored 8-year-old.

Correct - and acknowledged more than once. Perhaps he is getting bored or psychic and realizing from it exactly how real people feel/emote about him!!!!!
