I am talking about telepathy however. There is a difference between failing to pick up on the split second decision made by a devotely loyal apprentice that, while occupied, and in Sidious' arrogance, he believed would not betray him, and failing to percieve the traitorous actions of a guy who just betrayed you before straight up lying to your face, and proceeding to decieve you for 300 years, before stabbing you in the back. On the other hand. Palpatine was able to sense Darth Vader's traitorous thoughts from light years away, and force him back into subservience:Vader also failed to keep his secret apprentice from him.
Sidious failed to foresee Luke's defiance, this is not a split-second development. He just failed to foresee Luke's defiance irrespective of his effort to lure Luke to the dark side.
As for Lord Scourge, Emperor Vitiate intended to transform him into Emperor's Wrath and it is stated in the SWTOR Enyclopedia that Emperor deliberately spared Emperor's Wrath from his telepathic influence because he wanted Emperor's Wrath to operate at maximum efficiency. This is the reason.

There is no chance Scourge could have pulled a fast one (for three centuries) on the Sith Emperor like he did on Palpatine. Call it PIS if you like, but guess what, it happened, its canon. And it proves the Sith Emperor can't sense what a Force user is thinking unless he enters their mind and dominates them.Sidious can. If you can provide me with an instance of the Sith Emperor reading surface thoughts in this manner, I'll consider conceding.
Until then, learn 2 deal.I'm afraid I wasn't
Is this the case then explain to me the reason behind Sidious' failure in reading the mind of Luke.
In addition, Sidious shared some kind of telepathic link with Vader, if I remember correctly. Due to this factor, it was possible for Sidious to know what Vader had in mind.
Emperor Vitiate had been well-aware of his surroundings and developments in the galaxy. Emperor Vitiate have the ability to read minds as well; when the Jedi Strike Team led by Master Tol Braga approached him on his space station in a 'surprise' arrest attempt, the Emperor successfully identified the Jedi. At this point, HoT (Player) gets the option to ask Emperor Vitiate that how he knows about Tol Braga and the Jedi, and Emperor Vitiate responds that he knows everything.
