Easy to explain, they had nothing to do with the chips except order them and deliver them.

Now if when the chips came in they had to do anything with them, then they would be late.

Don't worry, they still messed up.  They said they would be clear of their backlog by the time the chips shipped.

This might be the post you are thinking of where Josh says they "expect" but can't guarantee the current back order to be cleared by mid September. Definitely "messed up" on the "expect" part...

In other news, we have released all the documentation necessary for people to begin creating their own boards to house our chips and we have begun selling our chips in bulk. The first deliveries of our chips are expected in roughly 100 days from the time of order. We still expect the current back order backlog to be cleared by the middle of September or so, although given what we can likely achieve with our production rate, I suspect it may be sooner than that. No guarantees on that either way, though.
