Why are we letting the strike on June 21st retroactively "define" what happened, or rather, what didn't happen, on June 19th and 20th? The absence of an event on those earlier days was already a fact, not something that needed a later military action to confirm it.
This sounds like someone trying to clean up the books, giving the market makers an incentive to rewrite the narrative.
It's like saying a later storm "defines" that it didn't rain last week; the rain either happened or it didn't.
Polymarket prediction markets for June 19th and 20th resolved as "No" for military action.
This outcome was due to the US military strikes on Iranian facilities occurring on June 21st.
The timing of the actual strike confirmed that no military action happened on the earlier dates.

The Polymarket resolution for June 19-20 already ran its course; it simply meant nothing happened within that specific window, a finite resource of time.
We can't just pretend a military strike on the 21st retroactively 'triggered' a 'no' outcome for days already past; that's like saying a delayed flight caused you to miss a meeting you had two days ago.
Each market has its own defined period, and once that time is used up, the outcome is sealed based on what occurred then, not what might happen later to drain more resources.
Trying to link them uses up mental liquidity that could be better spent on clear, present conditions.
How can the strike on the 21st define what did or didn't happen on the 19th and 20th? That just isn't how the playbook works; the absence of an event is a fact of its own, not something retroactively confirmed. We've historically understood that a day either has military action or it doesn't, like a shift worked or not worked, and a later event doesn't change the record of what was. It would be like saying the June 21st payslip confirms you didn't work on June 19th, even if you actually were there; it's backward thinking.
Prediction markets are becoming more specific, focusing on exact dates for events.
This increased precision lowers the initial probability of an outcome occurring.
However, it significantly boosts potential profits for successful predictions.
Access to non-public timing information becomes much more valuable.
This creates a greater advantage for those with insider knowledge.
