Right... certainty is impossible. But if one can't accurately estimate reality, then profit is diminished. No risk, no reward.

Returns on certainty are a little low, but each to his own. Bank deposits are pretty predictable.

I think you've missed the point entirely... it is not a question of whether oil is abiotic or fossil in origin... makes no difference where it comes from or how it is formed.

What matters is how much of it the world can get out of the ground day in and day out... and the point that most of us here have been discussing is the fact that even in the face of 5 straight years of rising oil prices, the amount of oil that the world was able to get out of the ground day in and day out remained flat despite huge incentives to increase the amount produced daily...

And that is what is different this time vs. any earlier s/d issues in oil.

With your tendency to use big words where small ones would do much better, and your ability to use complex sentence structures to render your meaning as opaque as possible, you should be working for the government, or at least some kind of large bureaucracy that relies on obfuscation.
