Most of the key lessons learned so far were already known by OG and the other industry players well before this and other mission failures had occurred. They not only refused to take the baseline and evidenciarily needed steps to make the craft safe, they fired a safety engineer and bragged about their cavalier attitude. They ignored communications from their peers telling them how unsafe their craft was, especially with paying customers on board. They bragged about breaking rules, and they unprededently didn't get basic deepsea dive certifications.
Pointing out the insane hubris and known-ahead-of-time shortcomings is not flogging the dead. In fact, it's highlighting arguable the most important takeaway so far.
