I would suggest that in that example, he is predicting the future, while in the video, he is speaking about what can already be observed.

From my perspective, the idea that the internet growth would have slowed drastically by 2005 was obviously a shit prediction no matter when he made it. But it's just a prediction about the future.

I think observations about things that can already be observed will always be more accurate than predictions about the future.
