It seems to me that predicting something based on time is rarely accurate and meaningful.
Suppose you want to buy stocks? Would you look on a time based graph and buy according to that? Or you rather look at financial data, see earnings, profits? Wouldn't a graph that has financial performance on x-axis be more meaningful that one that has time?
What if you research real estate in a particular area? Wouldn't be square footage a better measure than time?

Things affecting financials happen through time.
All things happen through time, but my argument is that time might not be the best parameter to model relations.
