To be considered a genuine oracle, you must make statements like this:

"Looking ahead, the consensus expectation for a pickup in economic activity is not unreasonable, though the timing and extent of that improvement continue to be uncertain."

What surreal perfection, clothed in sleep-assisting banality.

It possesses the twin strengths of being both possible and vague and is similar, in quality, to the dying gasp of a Roman slave in, say, 54 BC who predicts the fall of the Empire.

Eventually, his prediction will come true. But the timing and extent, ah well, that's another matter.
