2. Oh, but "she's been right about everything"

The odd thing about the "she's been right about everything" mantra is that it is never accompanied with (a) list of things she has predicted and (b) indication of whether they turned out to be correct.

No one has actually sought to prove this point, other than by cherrypicking two or three things she's said, and claiming that sample shows how "she's been right about everything".

It's a common theme with so-called psychics. I've never seen any kind of "batting average" for her, just "she's been right about everything".
