Correct, they are not.

Consider: Someone who "expects" their bank account to have $100M in it before they turn 30 and "only" gets it to $10M.

From the point of view of a normal sane person, they are experiencing "wild success", and yet at the same time they are definitely "going slower than [they] expected".

If you don't like a personal scale example, just replace the M with a B. Or even a T, given the SpaceX IPO.

The only point here is "not as fast as expected" can still be a lot.

Are you sure you are not the troll? Your rhetoric is highly aggressive.
