Eliezer seems to be taking a page from Alicorn's book. In Luminosity Alice is plagued by differing visions as Bella constantly changes her mind about her future, and then the actual future snaps into place when a final choice is made.

That's how it is in the canon Twilight (Eclipse).

Try not to take this as me being a big snobby snob, but did you actually read them?

Secondary source: I have seen the first 3 films, and Alice explicitly (and repeatedly, I think) states that "a decision has been made" when she has a vision. That decision needn't be made by Bella specifically though.

Weirdly enough, I have read both the canon and the Alicorn's fanfic.
