Hi Wildman,
Weren't those statements made in the unsafe harbour?
Safe for talkers means unsafe for listeners. Those aren't unleavened words you are quoting. Even the word "will" is a miracle of uncertainty in that ocean.
Or put another way, there is no pipeline. There's waveduke's pypeline. Or there's a noun without a verb flowing through it. Or there's a hand with business in it.
With Wave, numbers have a more robust character than words, an auditor's opinion counts and predictions are commercials for the stock price.
The truth is out there somewhere. But in that harbour, set aside the boats - even the floats sink.
