Loansharks, on the other hand, have no such scruples.
As to the content of your post, I guess I was too vague with "it's a mature system" so thanks for the insight.

(PS: Loren THompson made that observation back in 2011. "In the last ten years, the V-22 has the lowest mishap rate of any Marine Corps aircraft).
