Predicting who will win a sporting event has a lot less variables in terms of potential winners. There’s only so many teams that even could win, so it’s not hard to cover all bases with a limited number of “tweets” or whatever…and then as you said, erase those which didn’t pan out.
This is much different in my estimation. There is a virtually endless number of potential crisis events that could happen, much less an equally endless number of potential responses to such events.
To nail down both the “event” (the virus) and the “response” (the vaccine) in this case is uncanny.
To that point, I’m not sure why you said “not accurate enough.”
The only thing they apparently got wrong was the lethality of the virus to infants. Apart from that, it was dead on accurate.
Yeah I guess the march madness thing only requires ~5,000 posts.
The NCAA bracket compared to what you’re proposing in this post are ridiculously different. That is the point.
I still think the principle could be applicable, and there are also false claims (e.g. the west coast thing)
