Predicting the future is a horrible lot, and mathatically unreliable.

Have you ever seen the confidence and prediction interval calculations when you
exceed the actual data set?  It's not a pretty sight.

Marx and Engels did a bang-up job of estimating the current state of
exploitation in Europe when they wrote their position papers.  But that
extrapolation stuff was a bit off, I think.

Typical of that sort of thing.

IMO-YMMV
