Not necessarily disagreeing with your assessment but I guess all these things are about statistical probabilities. If the chance of this happening is small enough and the possible "worst case" outcome is tolerable, it gets a tick.

Forgetting to turn off a small switch within five minutes of exiting icing conditions will almost certainly happen more often than that.
- avalys 3y agoThe question is how often this failure will occur when the pilots fail to turn off the switch. Given that the 737 Max 8 and 9 are currrently flying with this defect and no damage has been reported, let alone failures, the actual likelihood of catastrophic failure is clearly low.
