The rules are based on certain models of assessing chances of malfunctions like shorts.

Boeing is claiming that the service time of their wiring setup is sufficient evidence to justify an exception to applying the harsher model.

It is not an incredulous claim, and not a trivial dilemma.

One of planes that prompted this regulation was their own Boeing 747-100 (TWA 800). They should adapt to the new wiring requirement when the regulation went in effect in 2009.
