It appears that SM considers that would not fulfill requirements of the market being fully informed.

Its possible he expected best case scenario of a fully completed task, and inform the market of a discovery (samples), which has not occurred yet.

And fair enough! Plan for success, not failure is a good mindset of a leader.
