-----------There was a line in David Edding's Belgariad series where 
Garion is told about prophecy "The word defines the event. Without 
the word, everything is random." Without the prophecy properly 
catalogued, there would be no "I told you so!" proof of any of the 
great, foretold wizarding events. If you don't write it down, it 
didn't happen. 

Just a thought!
