Well, I give you this theory -
None of his predictions has ever come true.

Why? Because he failed to actually predict anything specific enough that it could incontravertably come true. The one exception is the July Aug thing which will most likely not come to pass either.

Sure, he was a briliant generalist, but this was his trade. Sure he could fortell approximate equinoxes and solar eclipses, but he didn't hit grenich mean yet.

Plain and simple the man was a fraud who used generalizations to muster support. We see the same thing today when someone "reads" your palm/future/horiscope. IT IS CALLED COLD READING. Big N simply applied history to the future and punted.

That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it (I figure if I'm wrong I'll know in about 20 days... LOL)
