And the reason I was asking was to know what proof you've had because I'd love to hear some. But saying something vague and cryptic, does not a future make. Look at cold-reading, the barnum effect, self-fulfilling prophesy, etc. So I was hoping you'd had a specific instance that was undeniably accurate.

I think his point was that he doesn't care if you believe him, and that he isn't going to try to convince anyone.
I agree with him that on a certain level, intuition is difficult to reign in with objective standards of proof.
My intuition convincing me to walk 5 blocks out of my way on a cold slushy day with a broken foot, which resulted in me getting a ride when a friend happened to drive by: did I just know, like, supernaturally, that he was going to drive by, or was my subconscious mind simply playing the odds in suggesting that I walk along a busier street where the odds of a person I knew driving by were greater?
The answer to that question depends more on your disposition towards such things than it does on your commitment to the scientific method.
