You clearly don't understand the process then. I wasn't inviting a debate on what you speculate an alpha is for or even what this alpha is for. I was just offering some realistic expectations that some people should follow.

The only people who think this is going to be a short and painless process are people who, either don't understand the work that is needed to be done between phases, or simply people who don't participate in many alpha/beta tests.

It's not a crime or anything to be optimistic, but really these made up phase periods you guys are allowing yourself to believe are wildly short and unrealistic.
