While I'm also optimistic on Samsung's ability to execute some version of this plan, those things can't be parallelized. You can't set up a complex water delivery mechanism until after the building is completed and the cleanroom has been built to spec and tested, and you can't calibrate the gigantic ASML machines until after that.

But you can train the staff in Korea (or at any other running fab) and have them ready to go the day it's qualified.
