Another way to test a prophecy would be to make sure the subject had no knowledge of the prophet or the prediction beforehand.
If Izmir the Mysterious prophecizes that John Smith of 231 Waffleton Road will, at 12:03 PM on 22 June 2022, tumble down the steps of his local city council hall and fracture his tibia in two places, and it happens even though Mr. Smith knew nothing about the prediction, it’s probably worth looking into.
Of course, in order to prevent this being the result of a lucky guess, Izmir would have to make more prophecies with a similar degree of accuracy.
