>> We know of the failure modes of the Shuttle, we don't know about the failures of Starship
This is blatantly false. SpaceX learned a ton about different failure modes by launching many Starships during testing and watching them explode. The Shuttle had to take a conservative approach because it was expensive and there was no budget for the type of just-launch-it-and-see-what-happens approach SpaceX takes.
