you reference and the only addendum would be he has used the "close" wording on more than one occasion. Young has very little to gain, if anything, from the exactness of is timeline and fans, at least most, probably understand this. Fans, at least some, will lose respect and eventually doubt the credibility of his words if he says the same thing with no changes evident. Your last paragraph is the typical condescending tone you are becoming known for more and more. People realize it is not an exact science, they realize there are various thresholds to clear and there are substantial differences between being cleared for physical activity and further rehab versus being competition ready. However, words have meaning and without more specificity it is very easy for fans to feel mislead with a vague term like "close", especially without further context and clarification. To circle back to your earlier question, CMY walks a fine line with his disclosures in terms of trust from fans and we both know that when trust is loss it is very difficult to regain.
