Yes. In my humble opinion, selling a non-existent product is really just a scam. The sale isn't complete until the product is delivered.
But the salespeople don't care --- and apparently, neither do the execs who reward them with bonuses for their fake sales numbers. If the product doesn't materialize on schedule, it's obviously not the sales person's fault.
Just further illustrates the inherent bias that I mentioned.
