Why is the current time and redundancy requirement insufficient? They had plenty of time and opportunities to look at it, and they succeeded with time to spare. What is the scenario where they would run out of time, and why couldn't th

Sure, I can "prove" that my sheet of sandpaper works by using it all day. Does that mean it should work all day tomorrow? It's a useful bit of information ... about how it's approaching the end of its service life. If yo

It would not follow a bathtub curve. As the Wikipedia article explains, you have to at least check the in-service products to get a bathtub curve. As this article [1] explains, they did not do that. Therefore, no bathtub curve guarantee. Fo

The people in the airplane ask the people on the ground to look at it for them. "They" refers collectively to pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers.

It's doable sometimes when there's a tailoring framework. Here's a publicly available example [1]. Though I admit that it's usually easier to do in the US than in the European Union, so your experience may vary. [1] htt

Ah, gotcha. I think you're just not accustomed to this use of the word. It's in the dictionary and people use it that way. In this case, probably used for effect in the story, but it's legitimate. Curious why you hope it'

Are you saying that there's insufficient supply for some reason other than consolidation? I can think of many reasons, but they all share consolidation as a common factor when tracing back to the root causes.

Yeah, but they make shorter buildings out of steel and masonry, too. Next time you're apartment hunting, you can call ahead and ask whether the building is lumber construction, if you're not sure.
