The wiring, as it is, is considered unsafe and violates regulation. Boeing is trying to push the false dichotomy between leaving the planes as they are and "fixing" them introducing more risks.

In fact, there is another possibility: that the planes were never airworthy and should have never be flown in the first place and, if they can't be made airworthy, then they should be scrapped.

I am not qualified to judge the relative magnitudes of risk between the cable spacing issue and the rewiring issue. However, it is clear that they each pose some sort of risk.

Although, to play devil's advocate with Boeing's point: if you are to say that those planes are not airworthy because of their cable spacing, then no 737 is airworthy, as the regulation is new.
