I agree with you (and really am looking forward to Starfighter and don't share the GP's), but I'd like to point out that your answer is sort of incorrect. I can launch a stupid idea aimed at, say, world peace. People can reasonably mock my stupid idea, while not being able to find a solution. E.g if I propose stacking rocks in order to reach Mars, a dismissive, snarky, comment may be warranted. Honestly, if it was Monster or Oracle behind this instead of well-known awesome people, I'd be as skeptical as the GP.

But this is not "stacking rocks to reach Mars". This is a complete unknown where we can't reasonably tell the outcome in advance.

Exactly.
