But the search for zero defect, zero fault cannot be given over to cynicism, either. All of Human endeavor is a balance of some kind between expected outcome, intended outcome, and potential outcome. The search for perfection may be ridiculed in the Boardroom, or on the Line, but must never be abandoned by analysts, engineers, or manufacturers.

BA038 is a unique opportunity to analyze an as yet unidentified failure. Should this endeavour be left to only a few? We may want to identify others who have a stake in air travel, passengers, employees, families,etc. There is an unfortunate adversarial relationship at times in failure analysis. This is regrettable. Public scrutiny has been part of our cultures for as long as anyone can remember; that is why our aviation industries have such excellent safety records, and "closed societies" records are lamentable.
