I think so. Judging from his demeanour, from Alicorn’s mention of Black Swans downthread when talking about Siobhan’s power, and sheer symmetry, I guess that Nathan’s power is a variant on Siobhan’s “indirectly get what you want” that is powered by Black Swans. So telling Siobhan would hurt his power, because her power isn’t being actively used to combat Black Swans. If she tried to plan for a specifically Black-Swan-free situation, her power might be specific enough to beat his.
Maybe he can make specific, unlikely events happen by focusing on them. Dunno though, it’s all wild speculation. Cool power, though.
I had the idea that it could be the opposite of Siobhan’s power. So, rather than making plans he can break them. So if he told Siobhan what his power was she might be able to plan around it.

Assuming this, might be he’s somewhat responsible for the arrival of our two distinguished surprise guests.

My guess was that he has Murphy’s Law as a power.
