Yeah, trust is pretty much gone at this point. Why send this out with so much weasely language? Why say a “majority” of the material has been submitted to the publisher? Why not wait to PR until everything was submitted? Why are they PR’ing the lack of any milestone?
And no, there is no milestone in this PR. It’s all mushy “mostly done” language. That’s not an update, not reassuring about purported communication improvement, and does nothing to increase our bottom-of-the-barrel view of their management team’s competence.
