If the numbers fit, the idea has some merit., if they don't, the idea is worthless.
Prediction without numbers is not even "incomplete".. it is not prediction, it is just a chat which goes with beer in a pub with mates, that's all.
Which is not bad per se, of course .. but then lets not use such strong words (as "prediction" )
I am more than happy to consider my "prediction" as only worthy of chat material... I have no problem with that.
OK I withdraw prediction and say this...it is/was my belief that when the space craft left the heliosphere they would encounter a push environment which would cause them to slow.

If you want more you get the next round
