I agree that it's a semantic argument.

In my world (software), if a delivery team tells leadership or stakeholders that they guarantee no defects exist or that they'll hit a date, they deserve to be called out if there is even a single issue or they don't hit the date.

Don't use an absolute term if you aren't 100% certain it will be true.

I think in this case where Reader was asked if he'd be 100% ready by the start of the season, he accurately avoided saying yes by just saying he's "feeling good and confident" he will be ready.
That doesn't mean he's guaranteeing it. It means he thinks it's likely.
