If Radin's experiments with the interferometer are to be believed, psi can affect fundamental particles. It doesn't seem a huge stretch of the imagination to cause a bit flip inside a DRAM chip and induce an actual "soft error" in a large-scale system.
If we want to consider even more "macro" PSI effects, distant healing would have to affect atoms, molecules and entire tissues to produce the claimed results. Not to mention poltergeists.
I don't know if there's a precise line that we can draw in terms of effect size, but maybe the folks at GCP have arbitrarily drawn one.
