This paper is saying they can deliver by x, if y is figured out. It's a perfectly cromulent way to make a projection.

  Where we have no idea of how expensive or not y will be, or how long it will take to do it. Like saying ‘The UI will be ready in 6 months if the backend is figured out’. Also not a realistic projection. Don’t get me wrong, it’s something. But the error bars are larger than the graph.

    I'm sorry, but that characterization of 90% versus 100% is not remotely fair. "Only 90% unless people let us buy enough land" is a far cry from not having any clue at all.

      It isn’t just land though, it’s also storage and other tech. Aka ‘the backend’. Or ‘the other 90%’
