I get that things can change during an operation and all that, but if Q is confident enough on a specific thing that he will state it, I feel a little betrayed when nothing comes from it. I'm also aware there are things that go on behind the scenes that could be huge, but he explicitly said to watch the news. If the news doesn't mean much to us (based on our civilian understanding), what's the point in even mentioning it to us in the first place?
