Past results are no guarantee of future performance.

But claims of what future performance will be as given by people with careers, companies, and life changing amounts of money on the line are also no guarantee either.

The world would be a very different place if technology had advanced as predicted not even ten years ago.

Not a guarantee, no. A very, very strong predictor though. You have to have some kind of evidence beyond just vibes to start making claims that this time is totally different from all the others before anyone should take you seriously.
