"bias" of course meaning "doesn't say things I like." Since even Kal has latched on to this sort of thing before (and made his own predictions).

But speaking of bias, most market predictions are super safe and don't rock the boat. This is why you tend to only remember the really wrong ones. It's called confirmation bias, a more valid form of bias than the one you're talking.

I'm pretty sure there has been an industry outlier predicting the end of Nintendo since Super Mario 2 (US version). There always will be one, pretty much, long as there is a Nintendo. And should they become right, they will display their own confirmation bias in emphasising the one time they were right over the million they were wrong.
