Yes, it's really amazing, isn't it? You would think they would learn, but instead they just keep doing this over and over and over again, year after year. You would think the one who created that list several years ago, the one who has never once been right about anything to do with NWBO (literally not even once), would be a less-than-ideal model to emulate. But no, they're going to keep throwing out these upcoming events with breathless expectation, and then, when these events turn out to be epic disappointments like they always do, they'll just move on to the next supremely important future event.
I have a hard time understanding the mindset. I guess it's a combination of them thinking they will be heroes combined with the fact that there are no consequences here for wrongheaded analysis. Their unbroken streak of wrongness certainly doesn't seem to have hurt their credibility. When the SNO conference comes and goes with no TLD, they'll just move on to the next date on the calendar - probably the yet-to-be-scheduled ASM. Their analysis is based on what they want to happen, but fails to consider the single best indicator of future behavior, and that is past behavior. To know what is going to happen at a future NWBO event, all you have to do is look at what has happened at every single NWBO up to now. That's really all you have to do.
