“I can see [thing i predict]” is an idiomatic way of saying “i predict [thing i predict]” which is what a turn of phrase is
And i literally have not defended them at all in this entire thread, go back and read it.
It’s not idiomatic, “I can see” is a positive declarative statement using an INTRANSITIVE VERB “see” to lead into another positive declarative statement in the form of a prediction, there’s no “turning” because the phrase was already clear, there’s no allusion
It’s almost like the term is devoid of content and only makes sense when used as a synonym for “idiom”
