Why foreknowledge changes the future it predicts

Foreknowledge creates a feedback problem because people act on what they learn. A forecast may describe what happens if no one intervenes or if one choice is made, but a different response produces a different path. The Alpha Legion is criticized for accepting the Cabal's vision without first asking how being told about it had already changed events. The fictional example extends the Waterloo discussion by showing why a prediction cannot be treated as fixed once it influences a decision-maker.
