As I said, I did the reading with the woman at the very end of the meeting.

So, you observed this gal throughout the meeting, and likely also observed that she appeared to be hard of hearing in one ear.  Pure cold reading.

And my claim is not to detect miniscule kidney stones when they are not causing any pain. I only claim to do, what I have been able to do in the past.

Ah. So, you claim you can detect bacteria in the stomach when it isn't causing any pain, but not larger kidney stones. You can see into the body at the atomic level, but you can't see kidney stones.

Right.

Once again, it is "my 'ability' works, except when it doesn't, which is whenever my guesswork fails and cold reading isn't possible."

Whoops, that was a mess. Let me try again:

2 quotes from an early reading of UY show that she's been using the "I detected it but failed to mention it" excuse for quite some time.

"Although it is not permissible to make claims afterwards, I did detect an issue with the right wrist but failed to mention it. This does not count but for my purposes I am interested."

AND


"The first thing I detected was knee problems but I failed to mention this. It does not count but is interesting for my own record. "

Hmmm...

Yes, and interestingly enough, after the "postdicting" about UY, any number of people warned that the one thing that would damage her credibility the most would be continued postdictions. So, what was the next thing she did? Postdicted Dr. Carlson's missing kidney.

Perfect example of Anita's complete disregard for....well, anything but the thoughts in her own head.
