>>Highlighting the ones that came true is of no use if they made 1000s of other predictions that turned out to be rubbish.
Well that's the whole point in 'predictions'. They are supposed to be a large number of them which have to come false. Predictions are a way of extrapolating the future based on current trends. They are bound to be wrong. And they are also bound to be true.
Anything else and we would be asking oracles gazing in crystal balls to narrate us the future.
