If the prediction is perfectly right, yes.

Just because the best prediction is correct does not mean that the HTM
is confident that it is correct. For example, NuPIC might only be 23%
confident in the best prediction it gives, in which case the anomaly
score could be very high.

I would not pay too much attention to the anomaly score (or
predictions for that matter) until the model has seen a few thousand
rows of data. It looks like it has seen less than 200 rows as this
point, so the anomaly scores can vary wildly until it establishes what
the data patterns are.
