If the first thing Gelsinger does in the new role is to lie about progress, his credibility will be ruined. Conversely, if he were to say "it's worse than I feared," he won't personally be blamed because the problem preceded his return to Intel. So I think the claim can be viewed with a greater sense of honesty than before.
