Nothing mysterious about Sixth sense

“One night at dinner [my father] suddenly dropped his fork and said, ‘Dick's been in an accident.’ Ten minutes later, the phone rang and it was Dick saying that he had been in a bicycle accident. He was in the hospital with a chipped front tooth and seven stitches in his forehead.” His father had a sixth sense.. - Bond, Cornelius C.. T. Rowe Price (p. 57). Wiley. Kindle Edition.

We hear so many such instances; and we attribute these to Sixth sense.

Whatever you may call it, but such instances are not mysterious at all, and can be explained using abductive reasoning.

Let me elaborate.

Let us assume that the father had the following dots in his memory:

1. That Dick rides his bicycle a bit carelessly
2. That Dick usually comes home punctually, say by 8 pm
3. It is already 8:45 pm now
4. That the road that Dick takes is accident-prone

Assuming these dots (and these are not some far-off assumptions), how difficult it will be for a reasonably intelligent and worrying father to connect the dots and develop a sense that Dick might have had an accident?
