Agreed. To make it a bit more general, whenever I see people claiming to be able to predict the future with absolute certainty and confidence, that to me is just a sign they are idiots and shouldn’t be listened to. Definitely had a lot of those in past companies I have worked in. A lot of the time, they’re trying to gaslight people into believing in their version of the future so they can sell us garbage (products, stock price, etc.). They’ll always get some fools to believe them of course.
