This is the same stuff that causes conspiracy theories around airplane crashes.
The conspiracists go
“It must be a conspiracy because there are like these 6 redundant safety mechanisms and the odds of them all failing at the same time are extremely low”.
But the answer is obvious. If the 6 redundant mechanisms hadn’t failed, the plane wouldn’t crash.
So as long as the odds of failure of each redundant system is not 0%, every plane crash that ever happens will look the same, with multiple redundant items with extremely low likelihood’s of failing, failing together.

- dahfizz 6y agoThis is not the same thing IMO. Imagine Russia announced last week they had a airplane hacking tool that could crash any 747 by using sonic waves to rattle some bolts loose making the wings fall off the plane. If tomorrow, 3 different 747s crash all because their wings fell off, would that be suspicious? You could say "well it was a plane crash, something had to go wrong". But things went wrong in a very specific and unique way that is directly linked to another nation. It's the same here. The researchers are showing incredibly specific modifications to protein structure and DNA. It's not just "oh wow, this virus is very virulent". It's "oh wow, this virus has a handful of never before seen mutations, all of which were being studied in Wuhan, where the virus began".
- muzika 6y agoWould it be any different if FIRST the 3 planes had crashed, and then a few weeks AFTER that, the hacking tool was announced?
- Aeolun 6y agoIs this often the case? I have the feeling that in most aircraft crashes it’s always a major structural failure, or pilot error/confusion. Not often do I hear that all 6 redundancies failed at the same time.
