man goes to bank and asks for $500m to build a factory in the middle of nowhere

Bank manager asks;( looking up over glasses after reading half way through the business plain) ....hmm so, you have customers willing to lock in purchasing contracts, which in turn will work to pay back this $500m+%.. I do see a couple of potential issues; although the factory is a fine specimen.

Customers are willing to invest and I've shown you proof of that.

I think some posters find (B) a bit more logical, hence the divide
