All of those standard objections to Sea Lion are overstated IMO (especially the first: the Luftwaffe, despite bad tactics, was well on the way to crushing the RAF before Hitler called off the invasion in favor of strategic bombing and submarine warfare.) I think that Sea Lion could have succeeded in 1940. But that was not the scenario that I actually discussed in my post. I envisaged an invasion in 1941, after a year of preparations which would naturally include the building of more landing ships and transport planes.
