See, people think I'm pessimistic, and when we were in the spot I said we were running out of tarmac to meet our expectations. By that I meant all expectations were still intact, but urgency was on the table.

People derided me for that assessment, then it turns out in the honesty of hindsight, they were more pessimistic than I was.
