Or Merlin lied to everyone, and that is what caused Emma to go off the deep end. Her loved ones put their faith in strangers, instead of one another. There's no reason for him to have lied. Why would he? He might make a mistake or be wrong, but not lie because there's no precedent to believe that.

Also, we seem to be forgetting that (1) the future is hugely influenced by character's actions, and that (2) the people who can see the future (Merlin, The Seer, and Rumpelstiltskin) all say that what they can see are "bits and pieces", and/or "puzzle pieces with no clear pattern or answer".

I think Killian's outburst is born out of frustration and the notion that someone who could see the future should have been more powerful or at least more specific.

(and all this reminds me of the discussions of prescience in the Dune series, but I digress.)
