I think this is changing and a company like Google can see what we call "the future", based on virtually infinite data points. I am not saying that these data points are all possible futures but they give a clear advantage over entrepreneurs with minimal data. True, you can't predict the real future but Intel could act earlier with more information. Andy Grove wrote about this on his "paranoid book".

Google can see what we call "the future", based on virtually infinite data points.

If Google can manage them usefully, those points are clearly not virtually infinite. (Otherwise, you're diluting the meaning of the word.)
