There was no estimate given. There was a range given.
The range has been, since day 1 of pre-orders, been this winter. That encompasses the range of December 21st - March 20th, 2019.
Until it's March 21st and there's no F-14, we've not reneged on this guarantee.
You've also fundamentally misunderstood my post as a cry for some sort of sympathy, but that's besides the point.
The hope of a date range was to give ourselves leeway to put quality ahead of fixed dates, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that a date at the tail end of a range
is not considered appropriate by the community. (Much to my surprise). Lessons learned, I guess.
