"Despite slower than expected progress"
I mean on the one hand this is the story of fusion. On the other they should have preempted that by being extra pessimistic, so was extra pessimism built in? Did they guess they were going to be perennially 5 years away when in fact they're 10 years away. Or did they think the project would be done in 18 months, and is still 10 years away? Any bets on what the predicted timeframe will be in 10 years time?
