Doesn't a car typically break down at least once every 33 service years or so, too? For that matter, I wouldn't be too surprised if 1/33 cars crashed each year

Doesn't a car typically break down at least once every 33 service years or so, too? For that matter, I wouldn't be too surprised if 1/33 cars crashed each year (or significantly higher than that), so I think that the 787 is still looking pretty reliable in comparison. (maybe not in comparison to a 747, but that's a different argument)
- sliverstorm 13y agoFor a car to be "magnitudes" worse (which is the claim being made) the mishap rate would have to be at least every 0.33 service years.
- jychang 13y agoI'd like to nitpick that "magnitudes" depends on your base. Base 10 is commonly used, though base e is probably more accurate. So if 33/e^2 == 4.46 incidents happen, I'd probably call it "magnitudes". 4 years per accident sounds reasonable.
- lostlogin 13y agoWow, I'd say that was terrible. 16 years and one crash for me I don't consider myself better than average at all.
