Although the prophecies of Pilar Ternera’s cards assuage uncertainty by generating comfort or a false reality, disregarding the omens of the cards results in near-death experiences or…

Nate Silver’s introduction to The Signal and the Noise offers up an intuitive definition of the split between prediction and forecast. Prediction is judgemental and accounts for future changes and opinions, whereas forecast is pure scientific fact and interpretation of the past events.
