I don't know if you've worked in a large corporation, but during my time in one we would constantly get senior management talking about how we were doing really well and going to do great things and we were making history.... whilst goals and deadlines were missed constantly and everyone knew we had no chance of meeting them. We had a product delayed by 4 years and when it finally shipped the head of software sent out an email congratulating everyone on their hardwork on that final push to get it out before the EOY deadline (the original deadline was EOY 4 years earlier). It's just what senior management does, don't read into it.
