Quite a statement for what is effectively a paper airplane at this point.
How does Boeing's awful recent failures and its longer-term decline obviate the obligation of an engineer who spotted this safety issue or certification concern? -- how does Boeing's bad repute at this time require the engineer to find someone else to deliver the comment? Double standards, it seems to this SLF/atty, are in play here.

New rules and the like routinely go out for public comment - I used to see those on a semi-regular basis. There would be a focal that we'd direct any comments to that would incorporate those comments into an input to the relevant authority. It's call 'doing your job' and 'due diligence'.
"Wet fuselage" fuel tanks have not been previously used on commercial airliners. Perhaps there is a good reason for that...
