...or hence the ugliness of the Airbus ECAM philosophy and function, in event of what it sees as multiple failures, which aren't, generally concerned with nasty electrical happenings.
Regarding the 737 gear, I have twice persuaded recalcitrant gear to behave by re-cycling the system. I think I recall that re-cycling is advised against on the grounds of the time it takes, not for any good engineering reason. Considering the likely failures that would lead to gear not locking down, I'm not persuaded that any of them could propagate from one gear to another.
