Abstract:	Apocalyptic predictions, messages of salvation, superforecasting or just common (systems) engineering – any statement about a causal, empirical, or logical relationship between two states of affairs should be substantiated with a traceable chain of rational arguments. Scientific methods and the principles of engineering are fundamental to distinguishing wishful thinking from realistic approach.
