We have 50 years of ACM literature to back that up, and insightful authors from Fred Brooks to Steven McConnell to explain why this unpredictability persists.  Until when a system ships can we know the ship date.  Prior to that the inevitable unpredictable things that define our universe and the software development tasks we do within it will come into play.  I always try to keep this in mind with all software from all vendors.
