Block 3 will be a different vehicle, should they just skip Block 2 (scrap however many they already built) and move on to Block 3?

I think they requires Raptor 3 engines & they are apparently still finishing their development.

So might as well use up the remaining Starship 2 & Raptor 2 inventory in destructive testing (both intentional and emergent).
