That's an ok metaphor, but it puts it in a negative light. Now let's imagine we come up with a theory of evolution, and it consistently makes predictions that come true. Do we go, "Hmm, let's be suspicious because its almost TOO true."? Perhaps not.



No, eventhough skepticism is very good, basically that would be like seeing exactly how someone actually 'cheated'. Enough evidence to be able to state that it actually happened that way so to speak. So then it would be a bad methaphor indeed...

You'd be surprised at what exactly Copperfield can do. Anyways, before the exageration of the story it could very well have been very similar copperfield's 'magic', turning water into wine for example.
