Zero percent?
With all due respect, that would be proof of superstitious thinking right there.
You have an irrational belief in the accuracy of your own thinking process.
That's delusional.

I would actually say that superstition is bad inductive reasoning. ("Last time I threw salt behind my back...")
A few time I've made bad inductive arguments, like when my cars broken. ("It's right after an oil change, so maybe that was it.") But when I'm confronted with truth, I abandon that.
So never? I hope?
