Is the I Ching always right?

Was the I Ching written by some divine agency using the human writer as a conduit? If so, it should always give a correct answer. Any apparent discrepancy between the oracle and the result will be caused by misinterpretation of the traditional text. 

On the other hand, if it was written by humans, then there is no such guarantee.

We normally predict the future by looking at the past. This is most likely what the ancients did. They consulted a random oracle, noted the response and observed what transpired. They would have been principally interested in whether the fortune was good or bad. Was the hunt successful, with plenty of game and no injuries? Or was it a disaster—the hunters being attacked and killed by another tribe? They would note what the oracle was and remember it for next time. If it was consistent in meaning over several occasions, they would know they correctly defined its meaning. The result of their efforts was codified into the I Ching we read today. T

I am personally convinced that this is how the I Ching was written, and in this blog, I am attempting to prove it. I am doing this by making predictions and comparing outcomes. The results are posted here, and you can make your own mind up. mind up. Better yet why not try yourself? If you contact me and make a prediction, then your story can be published.
