with the magic stuff, there's no rules. if Euron said that he learned in the far east how to conjure up 1000 ships by sacrificing a mermaid to the drowned god, then nobody asks any questions.
but the non-magic part of the GRRM-verse is rooted in realistic, history-based economics, manpower, politics. we've heard them talk about things like how many soldiers they have, how much gold there is in the mines, what alliance will benefit a certain house, etc. that's why people get nitpicky, the story still has to play according to the rules as they are laid out, even if there is crazy dungeons and dragons stuff in that same world.
all that being said, Euron is clearly insane and we haven't seen whether he actually has the ability to make those ships or he's just really good at convincing his people that they can. we'll see in time whether it ends up being something acceptable or ridiculous soon enough.
