> to me seems like people witnessing the airplane and complaining that it isn't "real flying" because it isn't a bird flapping its wings

To me it is more like there is someone jumping on a pogo ball while flapping their arms and saying that they are flying whenever they hop off the ground.

Skeptics say that they are not really flying, while adherents say that "with current pogo ball advancements, they will be flying any day now"

An old quote, quite famous: "... is like saying that an ape who climbs to the top of a tree for the first time is one step closer to landing on the moon".

Between skeptics and adherents who is more easily able to extract VC money for vaporware? If you limit yourself to 'the facts' you're leaving tons of $$ on the table...

I understand that in this forum too many people are invested in putting lipstick on this particular pig.

Is that what Elon Musk was trying to do on stage?
