Primarily? Yes

How are you using the term "prediction" here?  (Some of us think of it as a
reduction in decision errors.)  And, could you site some studies that
demonstrate this lack of predictability.  (Yeah, Einstein was a poor
student, blah, blah, blah.  But again, this isn't what most mean by
"prediction.")
