You left out one major tactic. Which is: Present your argument in the form of a question that contains the point you want to take credit for later but also allows wiggle room to take either side of the argument.
Conditional and past tense verbs are useful in these scenario (I am studying the conditional in Spanish right now).
Also helps to blame the media. ALWAYS
Example Question/Scenario: Why would the Eagles want to cut DeSean Jackson?
Later Response (Djax gets cut): I KNEW the Eagles were going to cut DeSean Jackson! That's why earlier I was asking about what the Eagles motivations could be for doing it! (Reference post where you did that)
An Alternative Later Response (Djax doesn't get cut): The media was so full of sh*t hyping the notion of DeSean Jackson being cut by the Eagles. It never made sense to me so I was questioning it from day 1 (Again, reference post where you were questioning).
Works either way!
You are correct, always post an ITYS as soon as possible and distract away from any concrete or absolute statements you have made in the past.
