I'd probably generally disagree. Lose the date but sell the mission. Engineers that get lost in a world perfect is the enemy of good need to be reminded of the mission not stressed into cutting even more corners for the date.

Unrealistic optimism despite heaps of evidence is a major human flaw. Adding pretend timelines is a stressful exercise in futility. But planning itself is not.
