"When we get the final hardware, the performance is just going to skyrocket"
About this Quote
The verb "skyrocket" does heavy rhetorical lifting. It implies not incremental improvement but a dramatic, obvious leap, the sort of jump that turns skeptics into evangelists and makes earlier doubts look foolish. That’s classic pre-launch language: it asks you to imagine the finished arc of the story rather than scrutinize the messy middle. It also shifts causality away from software, design choices, or expectations management and onto a single, external milestone. If performance doesn’t "skyrocket", the narrative can always pivot: maybe the hardware wasn’t really final, maybe developers didn’t optimize, maybe the benchmark was unfair.
Allard, coming from a scientist/engineer identity, borrows the credibility of technical process - iteration, refinement, the promise of a controlled endpoint - but deploys it in a public-facing way that functions like marketing. The subtext is reassurance: trust the pipeline, trust the roadmap, trust us to turn potential into spectacle.
