This is very standard among MMOs. But when, for instance, Lich King leaked, they didn't stand up and say "Nope, not Lich King". They never lied.
And this isn't a lie either.
If either tinker or 4th spec was being worked on right now, GC would NEVER have made any comment. He's not trying to fuck with us, ok? Blizzcon won't have an Engineer and a smirking GC saying "But technically, it was fake, because we didn't do the fourth spec! And we called our tinker an engineer!"
It means that the next expac will not have a tinker.
It means that the next expac will not have 4th spec.
