    His goal.

    A VP could have the goal to increase profits by 500% over the next 6 months but that doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen.

    It might happen, but just because someone says it’s their goal is no confirmation that it will happen.

        Okay, so it’s likely to happen. I never disputed that. But just because the VP says he intends for it to happen still is not the same as a statement by the company that it will happen. He could get vetoed. He could lose his job. There could be a material shortage. Trademark disputes. A kraken could fly through his window and devour his testicles forcing him to be in the hospital on the exact day the paperwork has to be filed.

        The fact remains this article is titled in a very clickbaity way because it jumps to the foregone conclusion that “want to do” = “will 100% happen”.
