"Here is the risk that 737 max will crash because of mcas"

And then others say: " if we do that, we will have to redesign too much of the airligher" i.em break production.

Youve got to have your priorities straight

This is why I wrota about the imaginary plane that flies above oceans without people nobody care about. In such a case the priorities are not obvious at all.

If this is a real plane then there are consequences for the company and people (jail). Suddenly it makes sense to fix things.

The software industry is in the former case - new code being diarrhea-ed down without any consequences if it is hacked.
