Nor am I claiming that, you're turning it the other way around now. But if I make a thousand predictions right now, chances are that at least one of 'em will prove to be correct in the longer run; that still doesn't make me psychic, though.
It's the "if you put enough monkeys behind typewriters and have them hit random keys, eventually you're bound to get one of them to type an entire Shakespeare play" story here; one could be correct purely by coincidence.
