misspeculate

Definitions

To speculate incorrectly; to make or act on a false conjecture.

Examples

“There is no reason⟳ why "aggrieved" persons should, by the contract law of damages, be put⟳ in a better position than they would have⟳ occupied had they performed; secondly, the agreed market and risk⟳ allocations should not be upset⟳ by the often unclear question⟳ of who was in breach; and thirdly, the law should not encourage⟳ those who misspeculate to escape⟳ obligation by claiming that the other person is, for some contrived reason⟳, in breach.”

“Consequently, in the absence of faults, the trailing thread's branches never misfetch or mispredict and the trailing thread never misspeculates.”

“Another example is a branch predictor that misspeculates with unusually high frequency [36, 37].”

“Any engine that speculates can also misspeculate and must provide⟳ means to detect⟳ and recover⟳ from that condition.”
