"Optimism" and "pessimism" don't really apply here. While SpaceX hasn't publicly committed to what the "operational" value will be, it's likely they had a very good idea before they flew any hardware.

SpaceX is still developing the user terminal, there might be a bit of optimism/pessimism in the degree to which they'll be able to make the user terminal target different angles (without bloating costs), though the person you're replying to definitely exaggerated the extent.
