You had me agreeing with you until the last line.
If you, as a designer, view content that changes over time as "nasty" and the "need to accommodate that" as a burden, then I'd appreciate you announce your full name here, so that we can avoid you and and other designers who think you're creating oil paintings or sculptures.

No, it says that you, the content person, have not yet provided the real content to the designer. Designers have deadlines and can't/won't/shouldn't wait for content.
It also says that the designer knows that you, the content person, have a nasty habit of changing content or creating new content over time, and the design will need to accomodate that.
