Why would they need to prove anything? SpaceX knows how much the vehicle can lift. They will be their own first customers with Starlink when they finally go into orbit. The re-entry and recovery systems are much more important to SpaceX and since they haven't inserted into a full orbit yet, what would it even prove? The haters are wrong on one more weird conspiracy?
