The mind of the psychics is a super resolution algorithm. They hallucinate subtle details until the most consistent total image is generated, and their success depends disproportionally on the cases where it works.
If you were to tell people with full confidence what their greatest fear is, you will probably impress 20% of them immensely. And if you are very perceptive and experienced and not very biased, perhaps you can guess it right even 60% of the time?

I see. But why should a mystic care for other people ?

Good psychics are not mystics, because mystics tend to bias their super-resolution generation towards the mysterious. Good psychics strive to minimize bias. Bad ones try to maximize the absolute number of people they can sweep off their feet.
