I think this is modified the same way 'predictive' analysis of the
stock market by machines exacerbates instabilities.  If the rate is
1/1000 and there are 3 psychics the effect may be accumulate to
1/(1000^3)

So maybe it is common enough that the mere presence of 2 or more in
the same contest negate their effect?

Maybe some psychics are stronger than others and out-influence
probability to benefit only the strongest?
