Predict
All this crap about “no one can predict the future?” Of course we can. Cause and effect. You jump off a cliff, you’re gonna die. Unless it’s a really lame little cliff.
Psychics and oracles? Lots of the time they’re just a little more aware. They notice things other people might not and can factor that into some of their predictions. If you had the ability to notice the factors that they do, and had a lifetime of applying that knowledge to cause and effect, you’d probably be able to predict some futures too.
Is anything predictable to 100% certainty? I don’t think so. For example, that cliff? A UFO could swoop in at the last moment and break your fall. Or a really really big bird.

I really don't have anything useful to say here accept that I agree with your assessment of psychics and also, something about "a really lame little cliff" made me laugh.

That's right, pander to the irrational fear. . . a very big bird. Great.
