What's the over/under on insurance claims from a badly planned launch pad this time?

I'm torn, I want to believe that the water cooled plate will work because I want starship to succeed, but at the same time I don't know why they haven't started digging a trench at cape Canaveral since that is where Artemis 3 will take off from.

I probably should have asked where they're launching from, whether it's one of their own built launch sites like Brownsville area or from a launch site like Canaveral.

I just remember that the last launch from Brownsville sent debris in all directions for a couple miles and damaged a lot of non SpaceX personal property like cars.
