Every prediction has error bars, some error bars are smaller than others. I wouldn’t be so quick to throw my hands up.

For example, the yield curve inversion has had quite good predictive ability so far, and it’s predicting a recession. If you buy the fed’s data driven approach, that means its predicting rate decreases.

In that case the long term bond market’s prediction is supported more strongly than the fed’s prediction.

Pretty much agreed. However, I think there's a huge jump between yield curve predicting a recession (very well founded) and yield curve predicting rates will never come down again, or specifically, that they won't go to zero again (not well founded IMO).
