I don't get it, how does that answer the question about the economics of lifting fuel into orbit? Could you elaborate your point?

I think they are trying to imply that refueling a starship in orbit is worth it, whatever the cost - it gives a capability we didn't have before.

To land the volume of one starship on the moon takes 3 or 4 launches of a fully reusable craft - so just the fuel.

To land that with Apollo would take 100 launches of a single use craft.
