I see their statements as indicating that they do know in fact there are failure modes that will occur some of the time. When you use could in this context, it's to indicate that it won't happen in all circumstances, not that you don't know if it can happen at all.

That's what gets me: they don't seem to know. Or at least they don't want to say? If they know there is an (intermittent, occasional) issue then ground the planes. Don't announce it, but cryptically and then do nothing and wait for a few 100 deaths. If they know there isn't a problem then shut up. And if they don't know, why the fuck don't they know after (at least) 4 weeks of testing. Can't they at least say all tests fine or 99% of tests fine or we crashed 4 planes but maybe the test pilots were just bad?
