Well, this is a definition of a "true psychic's accuracy" as good as any.

A problem remains however if consistent, albeit slight, statistical
deviations tend to accumulate or at least stay there instead of
cancelling out. If this is the case, I believe they beg for an
explanation, even though of course the same need not be "supernatural"
in any sense.
