I've noticed that people who interpret the material often get locked into a mode of looking for signs of that which they see as inevitable. Eventually one 'candidate sign' might become viable, if enough signs are pointed out. Conveniently, the prior signs which at the time were quite compelling as indications of 'bigger change' become demoted to merely precursors to the (inevitable) process of 'bigger change'. So the hand waving becomes a meaningless distraction.
