Are even the best psychics ever 100% accurate?

I seen a very well known psychic today who has also done readings for celebrities, but i was worried about a couple of things she told me. Is there chance even the best ever psychics could get something wrong?

1. Yeah, since it's all BS at best.
2. Most of them aren't even 10% accurate... Sylvia Browne predicted that Bill Bradley would win the 2000 U.S. Presidential election. Bill Bradley?! How could you possibly get it THAT wrong? He didn't even come close to the nomination, let alone the Presidency. I mean, if she had at least said Al Gore, then that would at least have been a reasonable guess, but Bill Bradley? All the "famous" psychics have stuff like that on their record. The stuff they get right is stuff that anyone could have guessed. But the stuff they get wrong is wildly, horribly, laughably wrong.
3. No, psychics are "correct" only within the probability of chance
4. none of them are 100% nor are they even able to make accurate predictions, they make general statements based on information you give them.
5. No, human fallibility comes into play. It is not the message but the interpretation of it that becomes confused. I am pretty good I have about an 80% accuracy record. I would never even hint that I am always correct. That would be untruthful and I would lose my own self respect. Also the future is not set in stone. When you do a reading and the message is acted upon, the future will change. It is there fore a no win situation as far as predicting the future is concerned. And of course there are many fakes out there just after a quick buck. Practicing Shaman.. quantum physics rocks.
6. In every single properly conducted test ever done, no psychic has ever done better than chance -- you'd get just as many "correct" answers to questions by flipping a coin. Most of them do significantly worse than chance. Link below. So-called "psychics" have learned how to read a person's body language, get clues from facial expressions and things the "mark" says, and are good students of human nature. It's those things that allow them to "seem" to know things they shouldn't be able to know...but when tested under controlled conditions, they fail utterly. An employee of mine once was very distressed at work because of something a psychic told her, so I set out to show her how silly it is. I took her down to the psychic, and told her to not say a word and not to make any facial expressions or move at all. I plopped down my $50, told the psychic to tell me everything she could about me, then sat with my arms crossed and eyes closed and didn't say a word. Other than a couple of "general" personality trait things (such as "you're a very logical person" -- duh!), she got absolutely nothing right. My employee stopped going to psychics :) Peace.
7. Obviously. :l
8. I once told a young woman on the strength of 10 minutes converstation that she was Roman Catholic, her father was in the building trade, she was the youngest in the family and had two older brothers. I based that on guesses about her manner and appearance and a few things she had hinted at. The fact that I knew a couple of other young women from a similar background did not do any harm either. I was wrong. She had three older brothers. Everyone gets these flashes of insight from time to time. Sometimes they are partially right. Those who do it a few times sometimes manage to kid themselves they are "psychic". Psychics and even salesmen use a technique called "cold reading" either consciously or unconsciously.
9. No need to worry about anything, because ALL psychics are frauds.
