Sorry mate, if the issue is about "beliefs" rather than reality, then
you are making it a believing game. Truth is not a believing game. It's
not about believing whether telepathy is real - it is about impartially
testing claimants under controlled conditions. You are treating your
belief in telepathy the same as a Catholic, Muslim, or Hindu treats
their belief in their deity.
Yeah, if one does your picture test under uncontrolled conditions, or
only a few times, one may obtain such a score as 32. N, the number of
times such a test is repeated is very important to eliminate chance. (a
coin flip can easily get "heads" three times in a row!) But the content
of the pictures must be just as impartial/random to the individual being
tested as a random number, otherwise the test is not random.
I was honored to be present one time when a few people were "tested" by
Randi's team in Florida. Totally impartial. The claimants, with Randi's
people, decided what constituted a demonstration of a psychic
capability, with the main emphasis to keep the testing fair, both to the
claimant and adhering to the scientific method. Unfortunately, the
claimants, when they couldn't perform, most of the time believed the
test was unfair..... even though Randi's people "bent over backwards" to
assure fairness.
Cheers! Howard

In a test in which people are asked to "guess" 1 in 4 pictures, the
results are 32% instead of 25%. Telepathy is not only real, but is
obviously real. Sorry mate, you need to change your beliefs.

You have a belief that precognition and telepathy/psychic
phenomena are real - if one looks, using the scientific method,
as Randi did, it is impossible to find anyone who can actually
perform under controlled conditions that the claimant themselves
sets as conditions of a test (even if the test is statistical with
the aim of getting a higher score than random - like getting a
60-40 on predicting the flipping of coins, to use a terrible
example!).
The total failure of precognition hotlines to show precognition
over a couple decades - is quite strong evidence. One must make
sure that one uses hard evidence, not hear-say or testimonials.
