The choice of 3:01 PM — not 3:00 PM, not 3:15 PM — as the evaluation timestamp reflects a deliberate methodological choice: the predictions were made with enough specificity to require an exact measurement time. Without a fixed timestamp, predictions like "DS-V3.2 will have ~29 pauses" become unfalsifiable — the count can always be checked later. The 3:01 PM deadline creates accountability: at that exact minute, the predictions either match reality or they don't. This temporal precision is what separates prediction from prognostication, science from storytelling.
