Some have an enormous talent for sounding plausible while they engage in wild guessing -- while others have an enormous talent for just sounding.

I seem to recall having heard the following statement somewhere before -- but I've also heard that repetition is a Key to Knowledge, so perhaps this bears repeating:

We'll see what we see when we see it.  And we'll know what we know when we know it.  We don't know anything when raving street-corner prophets make their predictions and pronounce their anathemas in the forums -- but later.  When something's actually happened.  Then we'll know.

In the meantime: it's all blather.  Throw the street-corner prophets a bone.  Give 'em something to gnaw on for awhile.
