Gary's "prediction" is the platonic form of the frustrating "vague verbiage" pseudo predictions that partly motivated Tetlock's work. He makes maybe a single quantitative prediction (if you want to be generous). Everything else leaves enough wiggle room to fly a 747 through

I can't express how insanely happy I am that this is finally out! It's been a long time in the making, with fellow first co-author Konrad Walek first collecting the data in 2016. It's been such a big effort, and I'm really proud of this work.
Our new publication in @NatureComms, a vital step in our pursuit of regular checkups for early Alzheimer's disease prediction. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey! Congrats to @sabina__stefan! doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-3… #AlzheimersResearch #EarlyDetection
