This is exactly what I mean, every intonation, every speculation etc. taken as golden proof of an immutable timescale promise 
Can you imagine working like that and how much pressure it is, constantly scrutinised while trying very hard to push as far as possible every single day. We balance that with a massive desire to keep people as informed as possible.
If it were not this way then myself and the rest of the team would happily speculate in the open, but that will never happen while this amount of inferred speculation from observers takes place. I know Nick or anyone in the team has not given a timescale, I wish we all could, but it cannot happen as too many people have too much riding on this one. So exciting and at the same time disappointing to feel that we can be open, but not to open, then be challenged on being more open, to be then hung up to dry for being wrong in an assumption/speculation on progress.
Not easy, but it is the territory and when you can alter peoples fortunes it is understandable, we all feel it. I just hope we as a team hold back where we must and be as open as possible where we can without affecting peoples, but we are all different and that line is hazy, to say the least.
