Pundits: Humiliation

Wisdom Dept: Heads, I win. Tails, you forget we had a bet, according to Vancouver Sun. So let's get on with the humiliation and pundits have lined up to tell us what's going to happen in 2011. And why not? People want to hear predictions. And for the expert, there's no way he can lose. If the prediction hits, he can boast about it and reporters will cite it as proof of his wisdom. But if it misses, no one will ever hear about it again. Of course the rules of the game would be a little different if, at the end of the year, instead of asking for new predictions, we looked back at what was predicted to happen in the year ending. Think of it as holding people to account for the predictions they make. As reported in the news.
