I thought this was a key quote:

“It is impossible to quantify the accuracy rate of prediction markets in general…”

Over time, it may be possible to determine the accuracy of a group of similar prediction markets (based on their calibration), but he is definitely correct to say that it is impossible to determine the accuracy of prediction markets in general.

Should be interesting to see what he writes, given that most prediction market researchers have disappeared.
