That's not enough - you can have pretty good predictability if you know exactly what you're going to build, and if you already built the same kind of thing with the same technologies/tools that you're going to use this time. Which is very often not the case: business very often wants new things that others don't already have, or the technologies/tools from previous times are now outdated (or believed so...).

We're saying the same thing. If we haven't built it (or something very like it) before, then we cannot possibly know exactly what it is we are building!
