It's like telling a compulsive gambler their favourite “system” won't predict luck. They just don't want to hear that.

Not really, it's not predicting the future like a gambling system. It's just a measurement people are familiar with because they have reference points in mind.

The phases of the moon are pretty good for predicting moon rise, moon set, time of month, days of the year, days, and the tides.
