I'm saying that SpaceX is a world-class provider of space launch services, and leads the market on virtually any metric, but they aren't, as some are claiming in this thread, orders(!) of magnitude cheaper than others in the business. I'm just trying to counter balance some of the narrative here that presents SpaceX like some savior almost sent from the future.
Although starship is not "proven", you can say that the architecture is one that atleast theoretically works. And they have the data, and it is an order of magnitude cheaper as my previous comments have said.
This next year they have the hardware and permission for 25 launches. So within the end of this year your comment will no longer be valid.
