Excellent premise. I would add that most such predictions fail to account for dollar value in parity with other currencies, securities, and assets.
Even an apparent drop in physical value mainstays like gold and diamonds may be coexistent with a corresponding drop in Dollar Value, negating some or all of the loss in value, so long as the investor keeps his/her investment valued in dollars (as is the case for most US investors).
