Unfortunate that the word "expect" has two different meanings: (1) Expect as "owe" — "The professor expected to receive an offer of tenure after receiving the highest reviews in the dept." (2) Expect as "anticipate" — "He expected rain the next day and had his umbrella ready."

though the specific examples used feel sorta the same to me, I totally see them as diff things. Think parent talking to teen "I expect you to be home by 11" more obvious this is a legal agreement.

oh thats "expect" as a euphemism, rather than an actual definition though i think theres something here along the lines of perceptual control theory - aggressively predicting something out loud causing it to actually happen

though thats probably a feature of the person more than the expectation: there are people who get Mad about it not raining and so having to carry an umbrella around to no use, and others who are calm after not getting tenure against expectations

Mmm yeah. I explored this in a blog post, where I call the "owe" one an entitlement... ...I point out in there that sometimes people say have entitlement when they actually *don't* anticipate, eg "I'll expect everyone to have their assignments in on time"https://malcolmocean.com/2016/05/expectations-entitlements-anticipations/ …
