Which guidelines are they violating? Just because their commentary is unpopular with the usual shills doesn't mean they're violating guidelines at all. I'm certainly not seeing much at all that's violating any guideline.

100 launches per landing is wrong. It's 40 launches at most and even that is somewhat pessimistic because it assumes a return starship to bypass Orion.

In order to get passing tests, they have to fail first.
Hope is not physical reality.
Something is only successful when success is delivered.
