Or respond to this similar complaint on this article's Talk from 2007:

> The article describes prophetic perfect tense as "a literary technique", yet categorizes it as a grammatical tense. It seems to me that the categorization does not apply as there is not indication that "prophetic perfect" exists as a discrete tense; rather, it's a particular application of tenses described elsewhere. Any objection to removing the categorization as grammatical tense? -- Shunpiker 15:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
