Because positive scope creep never happens, right?

If you see it coming because it happens every time, it's not creeping.  But it's clear that we simply disagree on that.

If you can see the new ideas before they design documentation is written, then you include them into the docuemntation and reasses the development period.  If the new ideas come into play after the fact and they are implemented, that is scope creep.

ALL development is designed with some buffer time already allocated.  But you can't allocate a whole year just because your last game needed it.  

I also just disagree with the idea that the delay is because of new ideas.  I think it's PR bullshit and that they're just sucky and working at a good pace.  Again I site the fact that we can easily look at a date and know with certainty that it's just not going to happen and be proven right just about every time.

But everyone else is certainly allowed to believe Nintendo when they say they're just growing the scope of the game.  It's definitely possible; I just don't think that's what's happening.
