That isn't a show of intellect or prediction. Anyone can look at data and predict a result, based on past results from similar data. Economists do this all the time. Politicians just listen to their advisors. Very few are truly educated and knowledgeable about such things, as evidenced by their policies. But that is another discussion.
But in truth, you were expecting an answer similar to GT's. However, when you said that you knew what my reply would be, that was an attempt to portray yourself as superior to myself. Third graders do this frequently. By not supplying an actual reply, and leaving a vague "I know what you will say," you attempt to create a sense of insecurity. When I give my reply, whether it was truthfully expected or not, you can simply state that you "knew that was what I'd say," thus demonstrating your perceived superiority. However, with my reply of Christ's "woes to the Pharisees," I brought in a quote from the Scripture, relevant to your charge, yet not what you expected. Much like the Pharisees, you did not expect such a calling out. You, being similar to them, believing in your own superior knowledge and intellect, are left with making simple assertion that you are superior, "sure I did." Despite evidence to the contrary. It is a result of being scolded publicly, resulting in a slight to your pride.
Now, allow us to pass from this place in this conversation. And if or when we cross next, let us both be truthful, and refrain from vague comments and immature rhetoric.
