You're missing the point (again). The commissioning of the 2 ktpa operation wasn't complete by Xmas 2022, as you had expected, nor is it complete now. You can use whatever weasel words you like, but the fact remains that not one of your milestones that you were expecting to be achieved by Xmas 2022 were achieved then, let alone now. You said they would, if all goes well. Clearly all is not going well.

"And so what if it takes a bit longer than some expected??"

How much longer is okay? It's already had a 300% blowout on the commissioning timeline. Do we have to get to 1000% before it's okay to suggest that maybe everything's not going to plan, and something's not right? You talk about commendable timelines, but there's nothing commendable about providing guidance of ~4 months, and then taking ~18 months (and it still could be longer for all we know). With a target of Xmas completion, you yourself were expecting it to be complete in line with AGY's own guidance, so spare us the "you should have anticipated the delays". You didn't, as evidenced by your post above.

You continually challenge others to provide a peer comparison, but then when they do you say that AGY is peerless in this space. So let's just skip it shall we. I do think it's funny though that while you like to note that AGY has no peers, you say that AGY's project timeline is commendable by any realistic measure/comparison. Who are you measuring/comparing against if AGY has no peers?
