Did you just say that you guys made up timelines and promised them without having figured out if you could actually do it? So, in other words, you thought, "what do they want to hear" and then just said it without any real inclination of delivering on your empty promises? Note that when I say "you" here, I mean Reddit since you are a representative of Reddit.
I think that's quite a remarkably stupid thing to do, let alone admit it openly. I must be missing something here?

Alexis made the statement about the original timeline over the weekend without grasping the scope of promising something that the team would not being able to deliver. I wanted to make it clear quickly that it was much too liberal of a timeline.

I decided it made more sense to do that now, than to not clear it up right away and instead either 1.) quietly not deliver, 2.) deliver a shitty product, or 3.) wait even longer before admitting we can't make those timelines and having to readjust timelines at a later date. Which would all be worse than me correcting it now, right?
