Everyone does agree but is too blind to see it. This is nothing but terminology. Statistics and required proof and the laws of science make it so the most brilliant and logical minds will refuse to believe something they can't explain.
American Heritage define ESP as "Communication or perception by means other than the physical senses".
The quotes above are all instances of extra sensory perception and would be unexplainable to dear Dr Spock. But you have readily admitted "uncanny abilities", "information that may not be obvious", "noticing tiny things" -- all EXTRA sensory feats, if you will. Not everyone is capable of these things at all times.
Telepathy and clairvoyance, the ESP scary stuff to the logic heads, are gifts for those who have the talent, patience, creativity and capacity to develop those traits even further.
Yes, I believe that we all have it to some extent. And I don't believe in luck, not even for auditions or job interviews.
