I think mngt is doing a solid job.
Granted, offering projected annual guidance based upon equipment you don't have, nor have installed, nor have working, nor having seen the operational results, is pretty dumb. And to not in fact simply project production without the equipment-produced estimation, but rather to 'surprise' and add to any annual projections once this equipment is received, installed, and working, counters to prudence, is smart, and would frontrun great pre-planning promotion.
