We need to differentiate between the different kids of Precognition.
The main distinction would be actual future sight, where you're seeing the future or possible ones, versus predictive precognition, when you're predicting the future based on what you know. Of course, there's other types of precognition (like Spider Sense), so it needs to be judged on a case by case basis, but it should still be better differentiated and explained on the precognition page. There's also various levels of precog, which should also be described.
This is relevant for several reasons; a character immune to future sight can still be predicted by someone with predictive precognition, for example, though predictive precognition is not as immediately reliable as good enough future sight (eg. future sight that isn't uncontrollable visions that only lead to everything getting worse or only in dreams).
