I get that. But it's one thing to say: "Your aircraft did not get the latest software load and are therefore safe to fly," and an entirely different thing to say: "Any and all new software loads we give you in the future are guaranteed not to result in a similar failure." Absent a detailed accident report, what assurances do the current and future operators have that the guarantee is worth anything?
