> SpaceX's claim was that IFT3 would enter an orbit
You are claiming that, SpaceX never claimed that, only "orbital velocity". They wanted to test if the Starship is capable of reaching orbit, but w/o entering orbit for safety reasons. For that they wanted to achieve "orbital velocity" but of course not in an "orbital trajectory".
