They provide several other articles for additional context, such as the Concorde.

  The article is literally trash. Other people have mentioned the poor concert ticket example. But the Concorde example is equally bad. The Concorde project started as an exploration between Boeing and European partners. Boeing didn't believe in any of the assumptions, including primacy of hub and spoke, so pulled out. The British did later threaten to pull out of the project over costs, but the French threatened everything short of war. So the British continued for reasons of diplomacy. There was the additional benefit of European technology development, likely resulting in Airbus. How bad was the Concorde project? The British and French not only had separate management and test teams, but also separate assembly lines. The British test pilot said the two teams barely talked to each other, with the French being rigid and standoffish. https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/stories/concorde-day.html https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/stories/concorde-day.html
