Bruh its a TEST STAND TEST STAND this is not the Frist time a engine exploded on a test stand raptor engines in their development phase are supposed to explode. Elon musk has said if something doesn't explode then you did something wrong

If you're testing for fail state, sure.

If you're testing for sustained burn, you fucked up. Time to science and figure up how to unfuck it.
