There’s a big difference between being able to “predict” a production number, and make it happen. It’s also SOP, to “talk big”, and hope you don’t fall so well below such numbers, you don’t look, well, silly. Historically, many companies who “shot for the moon”, and missed, were delegated as “silly”, and were not around for very long. Those who never tried, were never remembered at all. IMO? Take your best shot. I’d rather be thought as silly, though I tried.
Better then no one, who no one will ever know, because I never tried at all.
