This, IMO, overlooks one important proviso. If I can predict your future
and tell you, you're probably cussed enough to respond with an "I won't!"
Of course, if you're in free fall on your way down past the 33rd story
and I yell that you're going to go splat, I'd be correct, for at that
point you'd be in the grip of inexorable causality. But, in anything you
can alter, bets are off if you know what has been predicted.
