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

Neither the Merriam Webster, the Oxford English, nor the Cambridge dictionaries make any indication there needs to be allusion, it just means “a way of saying something”

It’s almost like the term is devoid of content and only makes sense when used as a synonym for “idiom”

So you now argue that turn of phrase doesn’t mean anything when proven wrong?
