Indeed. The issue is not a single test failure - that's what tests are there for. The issue is whether Boeing is going to identify the cause of the failure and ensure that it doesn't propagate through to the airframes that get put in service. After the 737 MAX MCAS debacle, the company is now known to be a bit hurried with its fixes, while the FAA plays the role of a cheerleader for the single major US vendor.
