Oh I'd just previously watched the Anonymous Singularity video on Youtube which mentioned 2045.

Why does it make a difference?

Since if I'm lucky enough to see 2046 I'd bet my back teeth that a lot of people will be standing around wondering why the Singularity hasn't happened already, and we'd be hearing a lot of standard boiler plate excuses as to why it didn't.

Then of course some new predictercator would make a brand new bold and visionary prediction, rinse - repeat - ad nauseam.
