Faulty formulation: If one prediction by a soothsayer or diviner proves correct, all of that person's unseen claims deserve trust.
Correct formulation: The accidental accuracy of one statement does not establish the truth of all unsupported claims. Warnings about soothsaying and divination concern claims to hidden knowledge, unreliable means and unverified information.
Application: Assertions about stolen property, a future event or a concealed matter must be examined according to sound religious standards. The apparent success of a single example cannot replace proper evidence.
