Gboard glide typing predictions don't come true

I do like glide/swipe typing. But I've noticed recently that the word I'm trying to glide is showing up as the prediction, so I lift my finger, only to find a different* word has been inserted.

*It's not a completely different word, it is compatible with my glide path, but why predict the correct word, show it to me, and then insert something else?

Any ideas on how to increase the accuracy? (just happened again: showed accuracy and inserted activity instead)
