Summary

This quote suggests that having more information can increase our confidence in a forecast but doesn't necessarily improve its accuracy. While a forecast may seem more reliable when based on a larger amount of information, it doesn't guarantee that the prediction will be correct. The accuracy of a forecast relies on the quality and relevance of the information, as well as various other factors. Therefore, it is important to critically evaluate the factors that contribute to a forecast rather than solely relying on the quantity of information.
