> If they double their output and injury rates go up by 1.1x times, then that is pretty successful.

Again, I don't buy that increasing output by default means increasing injury rates at all is acceptable. :(

There's just not enough info in these theoretical examples, and neither of us are experts in the domain.

For example, are they doubling the output with the same # of staff (eg increased automation path), or by ~doubling the number of workers?

If it's by doubling the number of workers, then you might be right. But if they're using increased automation without increasing worker count, then an increased # of injuries would by pretty shitty.

It's not hard to find an injury rate for the actual industry as opposed to the one in the article that doesn't cover what SpaceX is doing

Then maybe the journalist should have done that, instead of just hunting headlines.

I've said earlier that people will keep repeating this as truth forever
