Striker,
Yes, as I describe so, I think so and until you provide any evidence to the contrary, then it is so. Its a two way street when you say, "just because you think so doesnt make it so" because a lot of your purported position is based on self-evdience which is epistemologically weak. A logical argument for a self-evident conclusion would demonstrate only an ignorance of the purpose of persuasively arguing for the conclusion based on one or more premises that differ from it*.

There are a number of ways you can demonstrate the commercial viability of a technology.

At Bacchus Marsh, we will be demonstrating it by generating earnings from a 35,000 tpa plant.

My proof will be in the evidence of earnings.

Would you build a commercial plant at 35,000tpa for a greenfield project? Probably not. At that point, you want to maximise your returns, so you would look to build the biggest scale you can above 35,000 tpa within the natural boundaries of you financing, feedstock, legal and operational limits.
