Some people are so dismissive and say there's "never been", or "no case". These are probably the same people that will believe anything that someone who dons airs of authoritative figures say not unlike paid off news broadcasters. I think many people have uncanny experiences of far too coincidental coincidences like thinking of someone right before they call or think of something and their spouse or partner starts talking about the same thing within a minute or two and neither of you have thought of it or talked about it for years, ... and just of stuff like that, that you can never prove 100% isn't a possible coincidence, but happens so often with such a slim chance of being merely coincidental, that you know it can't be a coincidence.
The key explanation here is :
It would be highly improbable that not a single improbable event ever happens.
I can predict for example the following thing : "in the next two years, an influential political figure in the US will reveal his/her unexpected homosexuality". My chances of failure are very slim, despite the apparent unlikelyhood of such a thing.
Why so ?
Because I did not say which person will do so. Assuming there are 5000 political figures considered as influential in the US (if you take into account journalists, bloggers, etc. it's easy to get there) and each of them has a probability of 1/1000 to fulfill my prediction, my probability of success is 1-(0.999^5000) = 99.3%.
If you want to make it even better for me, replace the outing by "will have a serious accident", where I left a door to discuss forever after the prediction about what is or is not a serious accident, pure "psychic"-style.
So yes, coincidences happen. The fact is that you notice them because they seem out of the ordinary, but if you noticed all the other things (in my example, the 4999 influential figures that did not make an outing or fell in the stairs), it wouldn't seem so extraordinary. It would be extraordinary if nothing extraordinary happened.
I'd add then, go U.S. in =GM seek, because in about 10 more decades mayb we can catch up with the Russians.
