Ann: 4DS Technical Update, page-482

No shit.

It was also the objective in 2019...

Take your thinking up a level - it's the timing.

The guy left because he disagreed with Wilbert going Hell for leather on the sales mission.
As opposed to 'the objective is to sell the company, one day, maybe this year... woops did I see last year? I meant this year... wait... next year, yeah next year for sure, we super duper promise this time even tho we said this for the last 4 years'

then enter stage left, Hurls.
And suddenly I knew this guy meant this year! Not next year or the year after as per last 4 years. Because if the technology was not in saleable state this year then more Development would be required, just as this guy wants, and he'd still be around.
