A mistake?
Hello. In my grammar book I found a sentence: "After you finish this book, you will have come to some decision". It's said that The Future Perfect denotes an action completed Before a definite moment in the future. So how is it possible? Are there any other options of using tenses?
Thank you.
Thank you.

It is not a natural sentence. It would have been more natural as: By the time you finish this book, you will have come to a decision. By the time you have finished this book, you will have come to a decision.
