It is "easy" because it fits perfectly with all the publicly accessible information that we have about the relationship between Boeing and Spirit Aerosystems. We know it was spun off out of Boeing in order to cut costs. We're also a forum full of engineers who have been inside companies that have done those kinds of things before in other industries and seen how it turns into a shit show. Yeah, this article is filling in the details that we fully expect to see around how the sausage is actually being made, to that extent it fits our preconceived biases.
Biases can be entirely accurate.
And even if this is a work of fiction around this particular incident, the reality may not be far enough off to matter.
There's enough smoke that all the biased people rushing to assume there's a fire are likely more correct than the skeptics demanding to see the flames enveloping the building before rushing to any judgement.
- Sebb767 3y agoI don't claim that the comment is wrong (I have no knowledge of Boeings internals and it actually fits my biases, too), but I still wouldn't qualify it as evidence. There's solid evidence that there's a metaphorical fire; trusting an anonymous internet comment actually weakens/poisons the pile of evidence.
