All would be fine if POET had told us just that: "Look, people, this stuff does not work on standard timelines. The good PhD has been working on this for decades, can you really expect it to resolve in a few months now." If they had said so, nobody here would complain.

But they comitted themselves to standard timelines. "Three to five weeks" into January it should have taken for an update on MS 5 and 7. The word "shortly" raised expectations.

Nobody forced them to set any milestone completion dates. We didn't. As far as we know, nobody else did. They themselves did, and voluntarily they did so. Is it really not too much to expect they meet their own self-set targets? Is it really too much to expect to at the very least keep us updated? I don't think so.

Don't get me wrong: I am long for POET and I have great expectations in this technology. Having said that, I am really disappointed about the company missing its targets again and again. They failed in this respect not only once or twice, but several times, and they seem to be unable to learn from those experiences. How do they want to reach the greater goal if they already miss the small ones?
