Just because they flew to New Zeland at time D, it doesn't mean they were not aware of the situation in time D - x.

Correct. But this indicator is "when do the vast majority of wealthy people actually take to the air?" Which means it's 'belief' lagged by however long it takes them to get in the air. And the fact is, most wealthy people dont actually have particularly good inside information. Even if a small percent do, this indicator won't see it.

We will all know from the news that something really bad is about to happen before this indicator goes high. Polymarket is a way better indicator.

You're assuming normal events, that usually follow some deterministic logic. May I remind you that we have Donald Trump on the white house at the present moment.
