| Jan 9, 2023 at 21:39 | comment | added | John Bollinger | Well yes, if the prediction was an informed / intuitive one at all, then it was an outlier prediction. But if we take the prediction as such then hitting the score exactly (if we even interpret the prediction that way; if it was even made before the game was played) cannot be considered anything other than a lucky happenstance. But the usual caveats about fortune telling should also be raised, such as about vague language subject to multiple interpretations, and about cherry picking predictions that turn out to after the fact be interpretable as correct. | |
| Jan 9, 2023 at 20:52 | comment | added | M__ | Its a welcome comment @JohnBollinger, but it's still possible. What you are saying is technically called an "outlier". Therefore, what's going on is outlier prediction. | |
| Jan 9, 2023 at 20:37 | comment | added | John Bollinger | I am highly skeptical of the claim that Jones received supernatural foreknowledge of any part of the outcome of the 1985 World Series, but I also don't find it plausible to attribute a correct prediction of the winning team's final score in a high-scoring baseball game to intuition / informed good guessing. An 11-run score is pretty far outside the norm in baseball today, and it was even more so in 1985. Nobody's intuition predicts that, no matter how well trained. | |
