Agree or disagree with the following statement, and explain your reasoning - "The value of sentience lies in its ability to predict the future, and therefore a species that was capable of observing time differently from us such that they can see the future perfectly would have no reason to evolve sentience if they did not have it already."

If they had that power it would necessiate a new definition of sentience. Like... SUPER-sentience. So, um, I agree with the statement in a roundabout way. Really, the discovery of such a species would shake up lots of our theoretical definitions of sentience, sapience, and junk. It's kind of foolhardy to assume that our principles will remain the same.
