The author concludes that certain characters in fictional works are not truly precognitive (meaning, they donβt have the ability to accurately perceive future events).
What makes the author think this?
Because in order for a perception of a future event to be accurate, that event must come to pass.
But some of the future events that the characters perceive do not come to pass in those fictional works.
The author assumes that if some future events a character perceives do not come to pass, then that shows the character lacks the ABILITY to accurately perceive future events. (This overlooks the possibility that the characters might be ABLE to accurately perceive future events, even if sometimes theyβre inaccurate.)
