Default Clean launch?

So, do we know yet if Eneavor leapt into space as cleanly as it looked
in the FD1 highlights?

Seems to me that you get tile damage no matter what you do. I believe the
problem is that tiles being as brittle and fragile as they are, have many
failure modes, many probably invisible until they actually lose material
with the vibration and temperature changes at launch.

The one tile they are off to look at this morning seems to be in family for
this kind of unknown damage.
