I look at these reports as checkpoints of trends that are already happening. All you need is a keen observational eye and some data to back up the qualitative observations to produce something like this. I don't view these reports are being in the business of predicting the future. They are describing what's already obviously happening with maybe an optimistic eye towards the future.

Accurately separating what is important from what is trivial in the flow of current events is indistinguishable from predicting the near future.
