Well, yes. Right now that's the trend. The author is saying that he's seeing a change now that indicates the coming end to that trend, not that the trend itself has ended.

I don't read that as "The trend has ended", I read that as "In the future (i.e. hindsight) we are going to see these events as the beginning of a new trend".
Whether or not I agree with his position, to me, that is what he is saying.
- card_zero 1y agoOh OK. We can see with foresight, that in hindsight, we will see these things happening now that are currently imperceptible.
- lelanthran 1y ago> Oh OK. We can see with foresight, that in hindsight, we will see these things happening now that are currently imperceptible. Let me rephrase - the author is presenting speculation as ... speculation. This is why I say that, even if I disagree, I don't see the harm in this sort of speculation.
