Agreed, this is likely the actual case but this was a thought experiment where the question involved the assumption that the proof for determinism was constructive, in other words, someone constructed a machine that worked to assist their proof.
That being said, what I meant by “its efficiency is another matter” was that I’m assuming we will be able to get at least one perfect prediction from it and then have some amount of time between reading the prediction and the event actually occurring to do something about it. Yeah, I guess I should have said that though.
