Horoscopes are the archetypal example of a thing that doesn't matter. "Filler" is the newpaper term, also said of the stories laid out between the ads (which weren't). Nowadays we say "content".
Winning didn't mean you were any smarter than average; the other guy was an idiot. But despite horoscopes being maximally random before they got to you, to which you therefore added exactly none, they have a purpose and a valid use that you failed to perceive, year after year, since. I don't use them; but people who do are not, thereby, wrong.
So, your smugness is a case of imagining yourself smarter than you turned out to be. In life, few will explain your mistakes to you so carefully.
Obviously? I don't think this is true. People pay money for horoscopes and similar so there are people out there who take it seriously. I don't.
I didn't say anyone was an idiot. That's from you. Likely because you're offended. More than you probably should be. But thats your choice. If you think horoscopes are great then keep using them.
I swapped the horoscopes around for a bet. No one noticed. Its ancient history. I won the bet. Already been paid. Already spent it.
You can't change anything here. Now you're just online trolling.
