They have to convince senators to invest into their company lol. There is no way they are going to do that with a plasma physics textbook and a white paper on plasma compression ignition. I don't blame them for building hype, and glossing over the technical risks. It's just if you want an informed opinion you have to look past the marketing material.
As devils advocate I will make the counterpoint, the idea of generating steam using heat through the walls of a tokamak is perhaps equally unproven. You need to have intense temperatures right next to supercooled magnets. That seems like a potential dealbreaker too, and everyone glosses over it in the same way.
