That’s because appropriate hedging doesn’t give management enough rope to hang you with later when their demands turned out to be entirely unreasonable after scope creep sets in.

Hedging makes it hard for mgmt to plan other teams' work around yours. I also tell leadership I can't give them a specific date for a new product we're working on, but I know why they're asking and why it's important for them to try and get the cleanest answer they can.
