What I'm asking is: How do you know that the information wasn't already there in your brain? How do you know that you didn't read about it and forget? How do you know that you're not putting the pieces together - consciously or subconsciously - like in Ohnhai's story?I constantly have experiences where I ask myself, "How did I know that?" Sometimes I can figure it out and sometimes not - but I never attribute a "spooky" origin to it.Edited by Ringo, : Fixed spelling.

How do you know something was covered up unless you "read about it in the papaers"?Somewhere, somehow, you got information to confirm your retrocognition. That information is out there - however deep it may be covered up - or you would have no way of knowing that your retrocognition was accurate.What I'm asking is: How do you know that you didn't acquire that information somewhere, somehow, without being conscious of it?The honest response to "retrocognition" would be to ask, "Why do I know that?" - not jump to the conclusion that it has a "psychic" source.Edited by Ringo, : Removed superfluous punctuation.
