Not necessarily, since within the function of foretelling, you are conflating observation with dictation. That you see something occur (across time) does not have to mean that you are commanding it to occur.

I'm sure that those that care have a sufficiently strong counter argument for that in their arsenal, or find that to not be sufficiently strong enough to sway them.
I'd rather just let the point lie. It's a good point (both yours and his), that has been debated vigorously for millennia. I don't see it getting resolved in this topic...

I actually set aside your post for later consumption. I've gotten through the parts summarizing Plato's ideas. I'll read your applications later, but I'm really liking it. I might add a link to it in the OP after the gnosticism section.
