That amounts to trolling. Please don't do that here.

Substantive criticism is fine, offhand flamebait isn't.

Edit: looks like I misunderstood the comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12032290, so will detach this subthread and mark it off-topic instead. Sorry!

I think you're misinterpreting his statement. I think he's noting that missing production targets is better than rushing through production and then shipping poorly manufactured cars

I certainly thought it was misinterpreted, too. Although it is reasonable to interpret the statement both ways, why do we often assume the least charitable interpretation? Maybe it is best to ascertain a comment's intent first.

Oh good point. Charitable interpretation fail!
