I stand by my words. At least I put my name on it. The parent comment was mindless and petty as was already pointed out by other commenters.

Telling people who are probably working their asses off to get things done that they are subpar because (because of what exactly?) I think is enough reason to be at least a little bit derisive about.

I added some additional information to point out there might be a good reason to do test at night since for example, SST missions tended to launch on mornings.

I expect that overwork of the day shift is the far more likely theory. Elon Musk expects employees to work 80-100 hours a week. I've done 100 hour weeks before and I made a lot more mistakes than when I've worked 40.

I have roughly the same experience. At the beginning I am sustained by the urge to get something done so I stop noticing warning signals and when I finally notice it is exactly because of inability to focus and because of mistakes I make.

You're yelling at a strawman.

If 'obviously' there is no night shift, and people had to adjust schedules for this, then this is an instance of "highly fatigued day crew". Because there is no night shift, none of the rocket workers are being insulted.

Also, 'petty' is a very bad description of their argument.

Also, the comment doesn't say there was no reason to do the test at this time. Obviously there was some reason. The comment is questioning whether the reason is more important than having the best engineers in their most awake state.
