Show me one fact that I misrepresented. One.
Tilt rotors are faster, and more efficient in cruise than other high speed configurations. The L/D of the V22 is fine, and I bet the V280 will be even better. For that greater speed, Tilt Rotors have less payload (given the same power and empty weight) and are not as nimble at low speed. Those are facts, much as we might try to wish them away.
That being said, the V280 is a viable configuration, and a worthwhile competitor for FVL missions. The V22 is successful, and meets most of its promises handily.
