All I meant was that it makes for a better story to keep some personal desires out of it, like having certain people want to join. When I write predictions, I try to keep things that would heavily influence the plot, or overly specific things that I want personally out of it. That makes it feel more impersonal to the reader, and thus more enjoyable. For instance, I happen to think Rebecca might be Silk from the early Romance Dawn stuff. However, I know for a fact that several people disagree with me on that. Knowing this, I would not incorporate that into a prediction because it makes it far more customized to only what I want and therefore alienates most of the readers. If you only put specific things you want to see happen, the potential audience for your prediction just decreased significantly. This is a rather extreme description, but you get my point.
