Yep and there are always versions of what I will call the 'deathbed' story. It usually is spoken by a person who has made it spending time on their deathbed saying they didn't have to work as hard as they did. Not only that b

It's super ironic that he would use the sleigh of hand in his writing in that way. Sure at the end it's disclosed that he is not (currently) teaching at Princeton.

He is a bitter and unhappy person. Most likely because he sees others making money in the way that they do vs. how he feels the world should operate. The fact is though many of the modern day benefits we have as a society came as a result o

I think it's reasonable to assume that Boeing has a great deal more to lose than anyone else in the decision chain. The idea that they would bet the company if they felt there was a safety problem is extreme. If there is another crash
