Reply #13: What were the "few small things" that he also said? [View All]

I doubt that one can go into something as physically challenging as basic training and not come out with some sort of injury - minor or worse. In high school, there wasn't a week that went by without one of my fellow wrestlers having some sort of injury. Basic is surely tougher than that.

The thing with "mediums" is that they are "successful" no matter what when it comes to people who believe them.

If it had been his right knee, you might make the excuse that the psychic was just a little off.

If it had been any part of either of his legs, you might score that as a "hit," and he definitely would. If he's particularly bold, any injury might be scored a hit by the medium depending on how much finagling they would do to convince you.

If he hadn't hurt his knee, you would have forgotten about it and not counted it against the psychic. But if you and he sat down and discussed the kid in basic training, and he learned the kid didn't injure his knee, he would say something like, "I'm glad you followed my advice and warned him about taking care of his knee."

Just about anything could be scored a hit, and "mediums" will always have an out if they're actually called on something.
