Second group thinks that it is serious design fault, it should be reworked, the airplane shouldnīt be allowed to fly, etc.. Implicit in this position is that airline pilot really need totally foolproof systems to do their jobs properly.

Personallly, I find second attitude very patronizing, almost to the point of being insulting. Then again itīs not a fact; just my opinion.
I certainly belong to what you call the second group, and the main faults I worry about HAVE been corrected now, it is just whether or not this exact type should still be flying or not.

I find YOUR comment very patronizing to the point of insulting, as it is NOT implicit in this position that the pilots need totally foolproof systems to do their job properly, just that the passengers (and crews) should expect to only fly on safe aircraft.
