To put this another way: is there any level of improbability that you wouldn't reject as "confirmation bias"? Is there a quantifiable line, over which you'd say "OK, even I can't dismiss that as confirmation bias. That one's real."?
Vast amounts of research has been done on this stuff and there has never been a statistically significant result showing 'something going on'. If there ever is, that would be the level of improbability that I wouldn't reject as "confirmation bias", but it has never been seen.
