After something fails, it's usually trivial to go back and see the obvious reason that it failed, and find a professor willing to say so.
Before something fails, it can be very difficult to notice it, and even more difficult to differentiate it from all the other obvious things that will kill it but actually never will.
It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future.
