That is all well and good, but since the experts took nearly two
years deciding whether or not we had entered Cycle 24, and
ultimately deciding we had done so a year or so prior, IMHO this is
either 1) a perception of the obvious at present which is
potentially pretty accurate or 2) a prediction which will prove to
be wrong in a year or so.
I am reluctant to accept that we are 3 years into Cycle 24, and
that's the assumption the prediction is based on, partially based on
my comments above. If I am correct, then the maximum may not be hit
until a year or perhaps more beyond what is predicted here., and as
a result, the number predicted is probably low.
