"Demos do not delay games."
Actually they do. The point in the development cycle where the game is ready enough for a demo is often the same point where you're crunching like crazy to get the thing done. At least that's my experience.
Believe it or not, a demo takes more than an afterthought. It's not as simple as making a CD with just one or two levels. You have to plan out what will be included and what will not, you have to pare the game down to that and make sure it still works, and you have to do it in such a way so that you can't just plop the content from the forthcoming release into the demo directory and end up with the full game for free.
Having to do all that in the middle of your crunch-time is at the very least a PITA. And while doing a demo before the game is done certainly won't cause months worth of delay, it will cause some amount of delay, because you're making a demo instead of making a game.
