Yeah. It's intended to distinguish between analysts/theorists and 
guessers.

I tend to think that working at it deserves more credit than a guess or 
  a hunch.
In fact, if you wanted to cut down on the categories why not just enter 
only the predictions that are derived from analysis/theory?

In actual fact, that was the idea I was promoting when I  first 
contacted Admin; a list of "Prophecies" (posters predictions) that when 
it was all over could be scored as "Golden Balls or "A Load of Balls." 
The idea seems to have been expanded somewhat. Next time I'll keep my 
mouth shut.
