I muss confess that I am someone baffled by this whole Starship thing... Obviously mishaps can occur but you usually test discrete components and when you are reasonably convinced they will work reliably you assemble the whole thing for an actual test launch. What's the point of blowing 4 full rockets without even getting off the ground ? Seems a very weird way of operating.
