WP, that argument is completely irrational.
If pilots were improperly trained its absolutely nothing to do with Boeing. How can it be? They merely make aeroplanes and specify the training required to operate them safely. If a customer fails to train their pilots properly you can't blame Boeing, they had nothing to do with it.
Unless they were trained at Renton of course...
"No more training is needed for pilots who were properly trained in the first place" - does that satisfy you?
Otherwise you'd be blaming Ford for training failures in a crash when someone on the other side of the world with a photoshopped licence has gone joyriding- which is equivalent to your original statement.
