I'd say "oikeasti ennustaa tulevaa", but the first part I like.

No, itsatrap that would not be correct.

I could think of replacing "oikein" with "luotettavasti", but will accept this.

By the way, why do you discuss a translation in Finnish between Finnish people in English????
This habit (and your translations) make me think you are not a native Finn...

I don't think I said I was a native Finn, but as you said my Finnish is far from perfect. Aitini on suomalainen, isä tanskalainen, asuin Kanadassa 25 vuotaa, nyt olen Jyväskylässä.

itse asiassa toi lause on jonkun en-musta-kenen lause, joku tieteiljä tai vastaava. On ennenkin tullut pähkäiltyä toi, mutta en muista miten se silloin meni. Olisiko "Oikeellisesti ennustaa tulevaa/ täsmällisesti ennustaa tulevaa" parempi?
