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.

You want to know this stuff? Read the massively long thicker then it needs to be adventure called "A Song of Ice and Fire". This much detail would make a boring TV show, and just adding "1 line" can be tough for them to fit in right.
You want to enjoy a deep TV show with minor plot holes due to time and budget constraints - Watch GoT on HBO.
