Back on topic, this is a vastly simpler situation where the purchaser of a brand new aircraft wound up with one that was doomed to blow out a door plug because of an incredibly non subtle manufacturing error.
You might compare JAL123 but the bulkhead repair underwent inspection multiple times, along with (hopefully) careful scrutiny while being performed, and so it was a failure of multiple teams over a protracted period of time.
Getting an aircraft with an undetectable guaranteed catastrophic failure because of a mistake a first grader would have recognized, that shouldn't happen.
