You appear to be expecting 100% guarantees in your aircraft design; it doesn't exist in either structures or systems, and isn't required.
Well that explains your position on this, by "every single one of our types", I take you work for Airbus?

You admit here that your aircraft are not designed to withstand all the stresses that may occur during flight, yet still it is not your fault, you blame the dead Pilot.
