What is wrong about my assumptions? I'm not advocating for "move fast and break things" in aviation, I'm saying that actually the issues at Boeing are not as dire as some people believe when considered in their broader context. I struggle to see how that is a tech mindset, really I think what I can be accused of credibly is carrying water for a defense-industrial complex, and that's the part of my argument that I struggle with.

None of the problems we've seen lately are things that someone just didnt forsee happening over the course of years. It was simply a failure to properly install or inspect fairly simple parts of the plane. While I agree that these are complex machines with many moving parts, these were not complex failures. They should have Never happened and are completely unacceptable.
