Maybe that the system requires starts at sea because of destructive noise levels, but most of the destinations listed in the video are either land-locked or don't have that kind of access to free coast lines? You can argue future technicalities, but not geography.

The person thinks it's fraud because they watched videos by a propagandist who goes by the name "common sense skeptic" who makes videos that sound a lot like the people who make videos about flat earth. I say this as they quote all the same talking points of that person.

Honestly, I don't know what to think of a CEO, who publicly puts her authority behind a video suggesting that doing anything off the open coast line of Zürich may be a viable business proposition. (It's a bit like selling a technology driven by the glaciers of New Mexico.)

Almost like someone who would think that they could do something that whole countries haven't been able to do in 60+ years?
Pretty heavy statement. Which part is the fraud? The timeline or the ability?
I think it's fair to say far-fetched, but the label fraud or even "sounding like fraud" sounds too heavy.
