Lots of words to say they built something useless to impress manchildren and investors, get ready for yet another "fell for it again" medal

That's also true, but I meant to say something different. I am referring to this sheer blindness to the rationality of what's being presented.

This event was like Disney presenting a mass-production rollercoaster you can pre-order for your home, but the general public seems to glance over how utterly irrational this is.

So far companies did alot of fundamental due diligence before making such an announcement (and the prior R&D investment!), because the consequences could be fatal.

The average consumer apparently still assumes that this due diligence phase was passed, thinking it's impossible that a known company presents something that big it cannot deliver on...
