Sounds like you might be having confusion resulting from circular mental causal models. You've got an arrow from Omega to X. Wrong direction. You want to reason, "If X is likely to happen, Omega will predict X."
I believe the text you quote is intended to be interpreted as material implication, not causal arrows.
