Projections of the future are notoriously subject to the
vagaries of time, as perhaps you are aware.

Exactly. That is my point. Projections of the future are and where often inaccurate. So the prediction that you referred to could easily also have been inaccurate.

Also even if further evidence obtained after the end of WWII has made it seem more likely that Japan may have surrendered in a timely manner even without the bomb, it is important to note that the decision makers at the time did not have all of this information.
