I didn't say we don't need hydrogen though. I just said it makes more sense to use liquid fuels rather than hydrogen in aircraft.

That falls under the “maybe” category. Synfuel are not easy to make, and will add a substantial layer of extra complexity to an already complex process. If it can’t be done cheaply then it might not happen or make sense. Hydrogen is not an alien substance BTW. It’s possible that we figure out hydrogen before synfuels get cheap.
