>> I am saying if Rocky says they need time to get it right, then I see this as a good sign.

I've worked in software engineering for a long time. Sometimes delays are a good thing; A sign of waiting for quality. And sometimes they're a sign that things went wrong. That poor decisions were made, or implementation was slow due to junior people etc..

Interpreting 'need time to get this right' as a positive, and worse, as somehow a negative on Alma, who thrashed them to the finish line with an identical product, doesn't make sense.
