Prescient Dumbledore

I wonder how someone so clearly prescient as Dumbledore was could be
so disparaging of Divination!! While a lot of his decisions were made

straightforward extrapolation from knowledge because of the depth of
the implications...

.... *and* that so many happened despite the possibilities of external
forces interfering with the outcomes he'd anticipated!!

I think it's a fair point that, given how rare true seers were, how hard it was to predict the future and how often such omens were misinterpreted, teaching Divination would be rather a waste of most people's time, possibly dangerously so if people put stock in wrongly interpreted signs and portends. ...
