Ok. Can we agree that some people are expected to be more perfect than others? Say the janitor versus the brain surgeon? Or the CEO versus the staff software engineer?

Sure, different people can be expected to have different capabilities. But I don not see how that relates to the context of this comment chain.

Specifically being able to predict the future a few years during and after an unprecedented pandemic.

Who’s job is it to predict the future hiring needs at companies? The staff software engineer or the CEO’s and executives? This is a primary role of a CEO and failure to predict this is a failure of their primary role.
