8. When making predictions has no consequences to credibility, you can say anything

TV diagnostics are pretty much useless. True for Hillary Clinton's pneumonia that was mistaken as her being all but dead, Mitch McConnell's impending demise, etc.

Someday he will die because he's not immortal, but not because someone predicted it to get clicks or ratings. Statistics suggest it won't be too many more years, but who knows why some people seem to randomly live longer than their lifestyle would suggest on average?
