There is eveidence based on their past. When TP was announced, the game wasn't even being made yet. The 2004 trailer was just made for the presentation, and Aonuma literally said in an interview years later that he had no idea what the game would be until literally two years after that. And then it was delayed again purely for it to be a launch title for the Wii.

It's PR speak, because it sounds better than "this thing was never realistically coming out this year, and we announced it way earlier than we should have."

Yes but did Aonuma actually say something along the lines of "We are delaying this after discovering new and exciting possibilities" or did he just beat around the bush and delay it because he wanted it on Wii? The difference is, THIS TIME, they are SAYING it is BECAUSE of the possibilities. They aren't just saying "We're delaying this... were not going to tell you why." I challange you to find an instance where they specifically announced a delay, associated it with new features, and didn't deliver new features.

They said the delay for Twilight Princess was to polish it. In the end, they recognized it was because the Wii versión and the game was ready before.

 

Edit: There's something major behind curtains if they decided to not show it.
