She knows for certain what will happen in the next thirty minutes, like whether or not she's going to bump into the men in gray, for instance.″
″My goodness,″ exclaimed Momo, ″how useful!″
″So if she knew in advance she'd meet the men in gray at such and such a spot, would she simply take a different route?″

″I don't understand,″ she said. ″In that case, there's no advantage in knowing anything in advance after all.″
