This quote in the article is a bit off base. SpaceX isn't going to be demolishing their launch pad like this every month. They are obviously going to have to fix the problem if they want to fly regularly. The concern is if they took unmerited risks that led to it happening to begin with, and if it might happen again the the process of finding a solution.
