> It's just not described by... Yes, I know - I think I read the parent comment as "If it is physically and financially [reasonable] to make your product safer, you do it" This is basically what I was taught working in automotive safety. > ... what's the cut-off? There must be a cut-off... There's no hard $$ or other cutoff though, it's a soft cutoff that may come down to engineers and/or management arguing about what is really safer. > Boeing has a slightly different problem in that they actively made something less safe and lied about it. Yes I agree, for Boeing it is different, reading about their management's intention destruction of positive safety culture is sickening.
