And there is the whole, Martin may die before finishing, aka, Wheel of Time.

He didn't make any promises. Every projection came with an express qualification.
I absolutely hate how authors/game designers are so vague about what they're working on and when something will be out, but it's tough to disagree with them when this is response they get.
Would you really have prefered that he just say nothing to anybody until the day of the release? How much does it impact you personally to have a date pushed ahead?
The death angle is just plain weird: "Hurry up before you die!" If he's in that bad a shape maybe he should do something besides work.
