Yes.  I do.  My ability to predict the (technical) future is good;
my ability to persuade people of it is almost non-existent.

However, when an almost identical thread to this one occurs in a
decade's time, I shall be safely retired.  And, assuming no changes
to the basic models, when one occurs in twenty years' time, I shall
be forgotten.  Such is life.
