I think you hit on a key part of the debate in this thread. There clearly is some sort of functional quality floor, in the sense that poor enough quality means something doesn't actually work to do its job. But beyond that, what is &qu

And similarly, nobody is paying for the blueprints, or CAD files, or assembly or whatever, they just want the car. There might be people that DO want those intermediate outputs (other car builders, hobbyists) but not the usual car-buyer, ev

That was the intent though. How can I buy cheap Chinese mass-produced products (usually low on the quality scale) but still have some basic quality bar that the products are not fraudulent? That they wouldn't fail basic safety standard

That is probably an argument to not require a retrofit of existing planes. It still might be a better approach if baked into new plane designs.

Part of the disconnect is formal modeling methods vs informal. There is tremendous value in having a shared understanding of the architecture of system such as how components interact, the data model and any type of sequence or state modeli
