Lip-service to safety versus actual safety that looks unsafe.
I deal with bureaucracies a lot and this is how they do everything: it has to look good, but they don’t actually care to make things good.
E.g.: fill out a ton of paperwork about how secure the web application is against hacking, but nobody reviews the source code for vulnerabilities. Or they fill out the paperwork and report the app as “secure” even when third parties like me are listing vulnerability after vulnerability.
The report is what mattered, not reality.
OFFICIALLY, on paper, the Shuttle was very safe.
