I agree with everything you mention here. There just seems to be a disconnect here: > Since there is no evidence the problems you are bringing up are actually problems I didn't bring up any problems. I just said that the things you were claiming were true are not things we actually know to be true. >In the strict sense of the term, we the public will never know. The same people who built the plane will provide a fix, the same people who certified the plane will do so again, the same people who were flying them will do so again, and we will trust them or we won't. This is precisely true. Which is why I responded to you by describing the bunch of things we don't know. Chances are this will be fully fixed and we will get a very nice detailed report on how that was done. The actual engineering tradeoff of more inherent stability versus more control is something we don't even know enough to conjecture well about. That's what I responded to in your comment.
