That all sounds rather useless if you ask me. A random piece of a thing without context sounds like the type of thing to cause confusion more than it does clarity.
[Yeah, just continuing to talk crap about your talent over here buddy.]
The big thing about my ability is my accuracy. My predictions come exactly true twenty to thirty percent of the time.
[Then, quickly,]
And before you even say something like, "That's such a ridiculously low number! Not worth it!" Just. Just consider that for a sec. I can predict anything with that much accuracy. I am not even messin' around with that.
If I predict to a client that they'll find huge success in something that already involves low odds, there's a higher chance they'll succeed! If I predict failure in something, that's high odds that they won't fail!
[He wasn't going to say ridiculous, so much as he was going to say useless, useless, USELESS. Or muda muda muda if you'd prefer.]
Oh my, when you put it that way...it sounds like a lot of words to say that you can predict anything. Unless you can't. And sometimes, who knows, it might even come true.
[...about the only way he could sound like more of a condescending jerk is if he suddenly aged seven years, became a vampire, and started talking about bread, sorry.]
Ugh, you just don't get it, man. I'm pretty sure there's gonna be no convincing you, either, but that's fine! I have plenty of supporters and that's all that matters!
[He really hates not being able to convince people, but he's beginning to accept that Dio is just...too Dio for that.]
