There are many methods for predicting the future. For example, you can read horoscopes, tea leaves, tarot cards, or crystal balls. Collectively, these methods are known as
utty methods. Or you can put well-researched facts into sophisticated computer models, more commonly referred to as a complete waste of time. — Scott Adams
