I understood those to be negative examples, in that the actual prophecies don't share that characteristic with those examples.
I did mean those to be positive examples. There's no way we can guarantee that we'll discover an ancient Greek goblet that says "I love this goblet!" on March 22, 2011. There's also no way we can guarantee that a woman born on October 15, 1985 at 5 in the morning in room 203 of a certain hospital will have a baby weighing 8 pounds and 6 ounces on January 8, 2011 at 6 in the afternoon in room 117 of a certain other hospital.
That's not clear to me, but I acknowledge that it doesn't affect the original question.
