Pretrained video world models are compared and chosen as components for robot learning largely by future-prediction scores. On its own, such a score cannot be read as evidence of prediction, because it mixes encoder quality, the near future's resemblance to the recent past, and the predictor's own contribution. We separate the three with a matched control. On 27,000 future-retrieval trials from household egocentric video, a model must pick the true continuation of a clip among eleven candidates from the same video (chance 0.091), ranked zero-shot by its own training criterion. Each model is paired with a persistence control, an identical copy whose predictor is never invoked, so the paired difference isolates the predictor. Score and contribution dissociate within the native-video V-JEPA family alone: the predictor adds +0.291 top-1 for V-JEPA 2.1 but +0.03 to +0.04 for V-JEPA 2 on the identical trials. Across five models the contribution ranges from +0.291 to negative, and it is negative only for the two action-conditioned models, which we evaluate outside their training regime. Persistence alone recovers the encoder ordering expected from pretraining, a sign that the probe tracks real signal. We suggest reporting each future-prediction score together with its persistence baseline. The gap between them, not the score, is what makes the number interpretable: a necessary check costing one forward pass. Establishing downstream usefulness is a separate matter, for a planning or control evaluation.
