Humans like making predictions. The problem is that we’re not very good at them.
Part of the reason is data. We can’t measure everything that matters. Part of it is weighting. We don’t know what matters most. Part of it is hubris. We’re not as smart as we think we are. Some of it could be timing. You can be right, but that doesn’t matter if you’re too early (or too late).
