Pretty sure Ken already clarified that post from the Sept 19th was not when the timelines stated started.
You're right. What is happening is the shareholders are in denial that we are very much behind schedule.
Ken has said that the future dates in that post are not from the date that post was created.
I will say this again and again and again; we are behind schedule. It's not helping the situation when the worshipping shareholders start spreading misinformation.
Why would the eASIC NDA be so strong that Ken can't even tell his investors if the company is on track? We are left with two options:
1 - Ken has made the decision not tell us anything, or...
2 - eASIC need a strong NDA because the 28nm is experimental and they have not delivered this new product to any client yet, and knew that delays were possible. The strong NDA is to stop negative press forming from angry clients.
I personally believe option 2 is the case and have voiced this opinion before, only to be called a "FUDster".
