Legal wishes to remind you that that statement always needs this accompanying statement.

The word "better" does not imply a commitment towards customers and/or investors. *The word "do" should not be seen as referring to the taking of any specific course of action which may or may not yield tangible change. *The word "can" does not signify a concrete ability and is not forward-looking. *The word "We" should not be interpreted as Canonical Ltd. nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

Except he had a perfectly legitimate point there, as far as I understand, he just utterly botched the explanation.

There's a big difference between "is" and "was". Which is what he should have said. There were no semantic games in that particular statement, in stark contrast to some of the other things he said.

I'm sorry, but I am not completely aware of the broader context and just shared that soundbite as meme.

It's fine and understandable, it's just weird how the meme version is so detached from what the actual problems were.
