This feels very much like "we are now moving the goal posts".

It does, and it should. With each iteration getting closer to the goalposts exposes the flaws in the goalposts, and then you try to make better goalposts. The problem people seem to have with the goalposts moving is they assume the goalpost makers either made good goalposts or thought they made good goalposts, but the actual process is "do the best we can at the moment and update when we get better information".
