I could say the same for any number of things. For instance, if I draw a random parabola and claim it establishes cooking preferences for ribeye steaks, I will be incredibly accurate in predicting that almost noone likes their steak frozen and raw or cooked to a smoldering hunk of carbon. It's only in the middle of the curve that my predictive ability goes down to near zero.
