On June 12, 2009 Iran presidential election took place. See details here.

Please see reference #3 to see when the election results was known (trend in the

results)

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/06/2009612195749149733.html

 

The time the article was written was at (Title: Ahmadinejad 'set for Iran

victory')

UPDATED ON:

Saturday, June 13, 2009

11:35 Mecca time, 08:35 GMT

 

Now let me do some simple math (correct me if I am wrong)

8:35 GMT + 5:30 = IST that is 13.65 or 14.05 (2.05pm IST)

 

Anybody reading this article will know that Ahmadinejad is set for victory based

on trends.

 

If a website / astrologer puts out a prediction saying that Admadinejad will win

second term on June 13, the day elections results are being released, does it

make sense?

 

Assume it is fine (benefit of doubt), what about the following case?

 

Say the website releases a prediction at 2:58pm IST. Does it make sense? Is

there any logical sense to such predictions, after the event is known in

newspapers and TV?

The event was known to people who might have followed news at 2.05pm IST

Please see the time stamp it is 2:58pm. A common man cannot do this analysis,

but somebody following the mundane predictions can do this math and can figure

out.

 

For argument sake, say I made an error in time calculations, as I failed in math

during my second Pre University. Is there any meaning in calling something as a

prediction when the election results are being released? Does it not bring harm

and bad name to astrologers all over the world?
