Hi,
Does the past perfect in the following passage have a past event as its anchor point?
To be a good scientist, you have to be tolerant and patient when experiments or interpretations do not turn out as you had predicted. You must be able to stand high levels of frustration.
Can "predict" be used instead?
I'd appreciate your help.
