Yup, and it's not that they plan to backtrack, it's to reserve room for not committing to an exact outcome, but instead a general outcome. What they plan to do is not necessarily what will happen exactly, as anybody that has been in a position of authority or part of a project knows. Things may take a little longer, there may be some detours, etc. It's insurance so somebody doesn't armchair nitpick and shame them.

I think there's compelling evidence that there is not a "1/2 decent" CFO at work there...

I'm gonna keep my pitchfork sharp, close, and on display here.
