All the pieces are there, aren't they? The fact that Strange agrees with him is just more proof, but he didn't need any. Magic just appearing where it wasn't, when there's a perfectly obvious explanation to him--an explanation tied so obviously to everything else...!
"Coincidence is a delusion," Foster declares without any trace of irony.
"Or another word for denial," he adds, no less forcefully.
"Undermining your purpose, your part, in the face of the obvious, is worse than blindness." You might as well be dead, if you're so willing to waste what was offered to you, to turn away from what can be plainly seen. The hand of fate was implacable, its purpose unchanged with or without his awareness, with or without his willing participation, his desire to meet it there. The powers involved would not care one whit. The only loss--to the world and to himself--if he were so callow as to turn his back on it even as it moved him... would be in whether he deserved it.
