> But is a bad prediction better than none at all? Depends on how much you rely on it. The more you rely on it, the more it matters that it is accurate. Sometimes (in a iterative process, for example) all you need is a starting point. But some iterative processes can get stuck in infinite loops with a bad value. So sometimes a bad prediction would be better than none at all because you just need a starting point. But sometimes a bad prediction would be worse than none at all because you'd be in a non-halting process.
