My Bible - in Mark 13 - says nothing about interpreting signs. Nor does the similar passage in Matthew 24.
If you choose to 'speak strictly' because Jesus, in using language to make it clear that no one knows when the Son of Man will return, said no one knows the hour nor the day - and think that somehow he left it open for someone to divine the week or month or year - then I wish you luck in your futile endeavors.
I am 100% for study of the Bible - Old and New Testaments alike. I would simply shy away from anyone calimaing knowledge of things that can only be known by the divine.

God Himself delcared that HE did nothing without first telling His prophets.
I didn't first say that. He did.
