Isn't that a question with multiple variables? If you wait longer to fly Starship then it's longer to get data about how it flies. What if it has an unknown flaw that blows it up on the pad? Now you're at rebuild plus 2 mos. How much was a lack of the data gained from this test holding up changes? What if the test had been more successful?
I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't think the answer is as simple as the amount of time it would have taken to put a flame diverter on the stage 0.
I've heard from 2 sources about time to repair+improve stage zero (Musk saying 2-3 mos. and a E. Burger quoting someone saying 4 - 6 mos.) That says to me that 8 weeks will be a miracle.
