So you are stating that reflying 1 stage proves that they can quickly
turn around stages and offer high frequency launch of reflown stages?


I think they can turn them around in less than a year for less than
building a new stage, which is all that's required. Pull your head
out of your ass and think about it. If it takes less than a year to
turn a stage (and it apparently takes less than 6-8 months; how much
less is anyone's guess) and SpaceX has 14 'used' stages on hand (which
I think is about right), they can meet their entire launch schedule
next year by building a literal handful of new stages and using mostly
'used' stages.

How many do they have to 'reuse' before you're satisfied. It's
currently at 3 (not 1), all successful. Their last launch was on a
'used' stage that was first flown back in February. They've got at
least two more ready to fly (the side boosters on the Falcon Heavy
test flight). I consider the capability proven. Musk considers the
capability 'production'. Only you seem to disagree.
