World models aren't linguistic. You seem to be conflating (at least) two different things, then claiming because one doesn't apply the other doesn't exist. Edit: Also come to think of it, that quote is odd, like it's rat

The Boeing 737 MAX had an additional safety feature that was causing crashes due to bad input from the sensors, that pilots didn't know about so they couldn't override. This was 2018 and 2019. After the first crash, the manuals
