A different take: conscious precognition is rare, and unreliable. What about unconscious precognition? People do utilize precognition, but have to do things like have groups look into the same future concern separately, and then interpret what they each see, symbolically. Much like astrology, there's something useful there, but not clear and concrete. Some people have been able to learn to remote view near future front page images, and even partial lotto numbers. Never anything good enough to be clear and actionable as intelligence (FI, mixing up 3/8, 1/7, or 6/9, or seeing a mirror or 180' rotated version, with the numbers), but far beyond mere luck.
If you look back, in 20/20, there are some oddities that show up, in addition to the more concrete examples of buildings, dates, etc.. Pop culture had a wave of Middle Eastern influence, leading up to 9/11, FI, that started dying down by '03 or so. The same can be said for China back in the early to mid 80s, just before they got their new economy working, and changed the industrialized world.
If we take a similar example, with gobs of parallels to nowadays, the original Deus Ex, there wasn't any spook involvement. The lack of twin towers was a technical issue, that they never worked around - but it would have been simple to do so, and they chose not to. The creators were a small group, with one of them having done only surface-level conspiracy theory research for the plot. They've all been looked into, and interviewed, over and over again. It's like they tapped into a line from the future.
I'm not doubting that intentional predictive programming exists (Contagion, anyone?). But, I wonder if many of these little, "coincidences," especiacially as found in highly visual arts of movies and video games, set in the future at the time of creation, might more often be from something deeper. Like, this important event occurring has been set in stone, and someone involved in the work in question is intuitively pulling it out of whatever it is they write it on up there.
