Anybody in business who definitively states something KNOWS there are bound to be snafus which could create delays. Some choose not to speak in definitives because it can backfire very easily.

By stating "I am looking to do" could mean many things...

Could mean he's being deliberately vague because he knows, as he would expect most people to know, snafus happen.

Could mean he's more certain of the time frame but less certain of the order size.

Could mean he's more certain of the order size but less certain of the time frame the customer needs.

Could mean he's unsure who will be the first customer to receive the first order so the quantity could be this amount or that amount so easier to say "looking to do" rather than a definitive quantity.

Could be "I am looking to do" is just something he says all the time about everything.

Just a few off the top of my head.

But, to think it's "wishful, whimsical, and full of doubt" is only seeing it from one side of the coin. Could very well be "deliberately vague for a reason, direct without being too forthcoming, and confident but not wanting to be cocky."
