They are NOT used as an industry “get out” but, in my experience, as a firm reminder that the MoD’s own actions are lacking.

Hmmmm.......?
There are many systems aboard an aircraft which only have an operational or combat use, so I think to say that industry do not understand how the kit is used does not tell the full story.
It is certainly my experience that these words
are used by both industry and MoD as a get out.
