No, I said that this is all a colossal waste of time and energy. What part about that is wrong? We're talking about events that we can't affect and don't understand. It's completely pointless, even for message board discussion (where at least many topics can be analyzed with at least some semblance of confidence). We as may as well slaughter a sheep and read its entrails to figure out what's going on.

I didn't say it was wrong.  But it's no more a waste of time and energy than pretty much any other discussion topic on any other message board on the internet.

I just find the whole "This isn't going to happen so it's silly to talk about it" sentiment strange.
