Is "as soon as possible" a meaningless statement?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33186points) July 27th, 2023

Twice today, I had emails that said “we’ll get back to you as soon as possible”.

What does that mean? It’s nothing I can depend on or act on. Who decides what / when something is possible? Maybe the person decided that answering in 2025 is possible.

Do you see any value in that phrase?
