If there’s any company you should pay attention to when they report successful cost cutting, it's spacex. You can hate or love Musk but Gwynne Shotwell is the real deal there. Not sure how she keeps Elon from blowing the whole business up but somehow she does and quite successfully at that.

If she says you can keep cool whatever needs cooling for 10% of the Boeing price, you’d better believe it.

I'd better? Or else what?

That's not persuasive. People make things up all the time, especially stories that show how smart <powerful person> is.

Or else? I won’t ground you for a week for sure ;) Being wrong for the wrong reasons is good enough. You have proof their methods work in their launch manifest.
This isn't about their methods. You think Musk is honest because their launches are successful?
