So they should have only flown this one 22 times? How do you determine the best "before they fail" point?

    You bring it up to specs before the next launch. If you can't do that, you have to scrap it.

    Is there something saying they flew this out of spec? The way I understand the situation is that something failed which can happen.

    How would it fail if it was within specs? Is it a design error you say?

    I would bet it's the same reason Boeing is currently going down, greed over safety.

    I mean, how much can we trust SpaceX, when they try to tell us that exploding starships, that were said to land on mars at 2026, are a huge success?

    Tbf, it might not even be greed, but trying to meet the impossible expectations musk seemingly makes up on the spot. It's lies over lies with him, and SpaceX can only do so much to work around him.
