actually, actuary

Actually or actually means really, as an existing fact--
Everyone is telling a different story; the video will show what actually happened.
Is he actually going to quit his job over this argument?

Actuary or actuary means someone who computes insurance risks and rates based on statistics and mortality rates--
An actuary may be able to predict your life expectancy more accurately than a doctor can.
He's studying to be an insurance actuary, and now he thinks about when people are going to die.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"An actuary can't actually tell when you're going to die; it's just a guess, based on available information."
