It proves he didn't know about it. That doesn't mean it isn't true.

Valve may have the product 'finished' by September, but Vivendi may delay release until Xmas for more sales, telling them 'uh, go do more testing . . . yeah."

--SB

...any decision Vivendi makes regarding shifting the release date would be at least run by (if not approved by) Gabe Newell. I'm not saying HL2 won't be delayed, I'm just saying if it is, it's not because the publisher is deliberately holding up the release date and NOT telling the developer about it.

Anyway, I doubt Vivendi would delay it at all - it's always better to start getting cash return on your investment and not have to carry the development team, who essentially will just be sitting around.
