Obviously not, it's a problem to decide to fake non-existing tech but more of a management decision than a problem with the technology itself, there is an infinite number of things that don't exist, no matter how much you want them to exist and if you are not capable of coming up with a working solution and rely on the world around you to move fast enough to bail you out then I would say that is a psychological problem more than anything else.

A common theme right now is 'AAI', using people to fake an AI that may not come into being at all, let alone before your runway (inevitably) runs out.
