If you can't predict it, that proves determinism as a null concept? Seriously? That's what you're going for? Lack of knowledge or the ability to predict things = Oooh! Ghost!

Making accurate predictions everytime.
And not just predicting that a rock will roll to the bottom of a hill, but accurately predicting its path including every bounce and tumble.
