That's because such speculation is entirely unbiblical. It’s a scam that folks will attempt to disavow by weasel-worded statements when it does not come to pass.
Your emperor has no clothes.
Oh hear you are...Yes I know this would be your response...:)

Do you know why we bother?
Bad eschatology has consequences that can go far beyond some amusing quirkyness about end times scheduling.
Last month we had the story about converts to Judaism who still think they believe in Jesus, in some sense. My guess is, a judeolotry typical of pop dispensationalism as led these people to take an action that calls their true salvation into question.
And just so you don't think I only pick on the dispensational target rich environment, Harold Camping's error (and I think he was some kind of Reformed amil guy before he went off the deep end) leads people away from the church, which is where God wants them fed. This is not safe for a Christian.
What I'll tolerate is actually pretty broad. See here for my usual rant.
