If NASA says "We're going to send a helicopter to mars with the mission of taking 5 flights" is that somehow bad? If the quality of the engineering and the quality of the parts, and all the redundant systems and fail-safes required to absolutely guarantee that the helicopter will complete its mission of five flights then go on to allow the helicopter to take more flights before it finally breaks down, that isn't NASA lying to anyone or "pushing a line". If the media then tells the public that the helicopter was designed to make 5 flights, but got over 70 that's not misleading anyone.
