Therefore this belief is mostly inapplicable in this context.

The above isn't to say I don't think psychics are real, nor to attack those who believe such. However, I do find it odd, and rather frightening, that people should react with anger at someone questioning something that, frankly, has no reason not to be questioned. If you believe in it, please state your evidence. If you have none, and still choose to believe in it, that is your prerogative, but don't attack those who choose not to believe things for which there is no proof. Doing so reveals that you are probably unsure of its reality yourself and/or are scared of it being proved wrong.
If you don't allow yourself for the possibility, there isn't much of a chance for another circumstance.
