Okay, I will try one more time - when was it the case that any big airplane was READY to fly on the day of the roll out?
But it is not NORMAL to have to take the fuselage APART again after roll-out and severely damage it in the process - because it was held together with ridiculously large temoprary bolts in the first place. All just to meet some idiotic marketing deadline.
