I'm trying to understand the decision making when looking at debris being thrown 100m+, at least to me, the launch only made sense if either:

>The engineers didn't predict the risks
>The engineers did predict the risks but the information didn't manage to come to the top with the importance it had
>The engineers did predict the risks but some kind of go fever overtook it due to pressure either from the higher ups or from an external source
>SpaceX genuinely accepted a multi-kiloton launch pad RUD with 5000 tons of propellant as an acceptable risk, both from a PR, legal and development point of view, that wouldn't set their program back more than not launching it.

Could someone criticise this reasoning?
