That’s a fascinating theory. If true, would this unduly damage SpaceX’s relationship with its customers? As a result of the statement their customers might have concerns regarding the Falcon 9’s fairing reliability. Or would this be too trivial of a concern?

That it instead is an exercise in preparing a short notice launch. That the payload fairing problem was an made up excuse.

My only concern is what if any impact this will have on FH as I assume said fairing will be used here also. Of course until SpaceX makes an announcement all we can do is engage is idle speculation.
