In the English Wiki, in the telepathy article there is a link to a site Skeptdic.com where under telepathy there was a letter from a reader which described a situation which, if accurately reported was very clear evidence of telepathy. The site owner dismissed this in what seemed to be an entirely specious manner. I say so because he seems to grant the veridicality of the report but rejected it as a case of telepathy on statistical reasons, i.e that however unlikely they were chance events.

Since there is in fact a body of applied mathematics that can bear on this matter I want to follow thru and see what I get.

At skeptdict.com the first link lead to a debunking of the experiments by Soal, which I completely accept as disappointing as such always are when they occur in individuals claiming to be adhering to scientific ethics. But the exchange in question is of a totally different character.
