Does it matter? The 737 wasn't cancelled back then after 2 crashes. Point is that they solved the problem and the plane went on to fly successfully and the public forgot about it. They didn't second question the entire aircraft design over one fault like we are doing today.

Wrong. They didn't solve the problem. A pilot that happened to press the opposite rudder pedal saved the plane. They were only able to 'solve' the problem after someone heroically saved a plane full of people by doing the exact wrong thing intentionally. The FAA deserves exactly 0 credit for that, as they were willing to let more people die.
