Thanks for the links I will do some reading.
I think you miss my point though. The fact that Stevenson is able to confirm the event described means the information was available for the event described. This means in all cases the subject could have found the details in the same manner that Stevenson did.
The other question I would have and I haven’t read the research yet is if you took the 30 details from the scientific American article and Randomly assigned values to them and then looked for people matching those details could you find them? What % of random sets of 27/30 statements have a person that satirizes them. Does he address the statistical likelihood of this occurring over the billions of people that existed especially if you allow leeway for being a little wrong with detail.
