That perspective is little more than spin. Most serious flaws are like that.
Any failure that isn't a "tiny tiny percentage of the total number of cases" is pretty serious. If it was even a small percentage (say 0.01%), Tesla autopilot would be banned from the road, and maybe Elon Musk would go to jail (or at least Tesla would probably get bankrupted) for releasing such a hazardous product.
