I've gone into too many organisations where making outlandish early commitments,and then failing to meet those commitments, was acceptable, while those who tried to be realistic (and understanding uncertainty) were branded as "not getting with the program," or "not being team players." In these companies failure to deliver seems to be acceptable, whereas failure to commit (even to outlandish objectives) is unacceptable.
