It's one thing to dream up and draw a cad model, quite another to actually create a complete functioning anything, be it an aircraft, a car, or even a hidden doorway in a house

I think they've compromised the pressure vessel with that attachment point. The cabin has to be round for the same reason a can of beer has to be round. If you try to make a cabin that's not round the stresses become insane and then the metal becomes very, very thick and heavy.
