A comment on FAA faces dilemma over 737 Max wiring flaw that Boeing missed.
It's true that the wiring harness is already proven with 737 NG. And it's probably true rewiring 737 MAX is a higher risk than doing nothing.
But IF this issue causes an accident without attempt to fix it, Boeing as a company might never recover. Even one such case could be enough.
So both not doing anything and fixing it carry a huge risk. Not fun to be Boeing these days...
