Agree with the overall sentiment.
But to pick on this point, from a systems perspective, isn't a single thermostat still a single point of failure? So to address the issue, they'd need to add multiple (2?) thermostats, each linked to a different bus etc.? Asking out of curiosity on how these systems work...
- TylerE 3y ago3, at least. Two just tells you one is wrong, not which. If you have 3, you take the two that agree.
- chem83 3y agoMakes sense and thanks. Sounds like the kind of capability that gets very expensive to include late in the game. Which speaks to a problem with contemporary culture at Boeing, which was to get rid of the test and QA roles that would typically catch these issues early enough to incorporate the solution (3+ thermostats) back into the design before it got too expensive to do so. Microsoft, btw, is guilty of the same test & QA culture dilapidation, which results in the crap Windows we get nowadays.
