This is not an example of the future perfect. It is also, as Armorel notes, not just about probability. To take up her example "invariably they will have been forced ...": what this really means is that the writer is certain that is the case, not all instances/cases have been substantiated with evidence, possibly because they have not yet all been investigated, but when they are this will be found to be the case, possibly (but not necessarily) because new cases are still occuring. In the Asker's example new cases would still be occuring. |
