Could be there are just a lot of Boeing whistleblowers.

Could be there are just a lot of Boeing whistleblowers.
- causal 3y agoYeah, so perhaps there's no conspiracy of assassination. But if you're so shady that SO many people have come forward to blow the whistle that MULTIPLE are likely to die purely by chance in the course of investigation - you probably deserve whatever suspicion you're getting by that point.
- hrdwdmrbl 3y agoYes, 2 out of how many? The denominator is important here.
- hackerlight 3y agoAnd the denominator isn't just the number of Boeing whistleblowers but the number of similar cases where whistleblowers could have died and raised suspicions, but didn't. We can't just cherry pick the Boeing example after the fact.
- DavidSJ 3y agoSomething something survivorship bias plane meme. But maybe that one's in poor taste under the circumstances.
- dotnet00 3y agoWould punch too many holes in the argument :)
- dmbche 3y agoI believe there were 7 Edit0: Nope - 32 whistleblower complaints in the last three years, but I imagine some of those could be from the same person - so up to 32. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/4/19/boeing-subject-of-32-whistleblower-complaints-documents-reveal https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/4/19/boeing-subject-o...
- sophacles 3y agoEither way, boeing looks kinda suspect here... Small number of whistle-blowers: boeing looks pretty suspect, because why do they keep dying? Large number of whistle-blowers: boeing looks pretty suspect, because why so many?
