I think I see your point which is how come in the Boeing such a hypocritical system has evolved. On the one hand we have a super smart electronic checklist integrated with the aircraft systems which we are trained to strictly follow. And yet this holy grail of a philosophy gets casually chucked out the window when the aircraft is dispatched under an MEL.
Furthermore, the associated MEL procedures are often poorly written, ambiguous and complex.
Is that the point you were making?
I do concur Sir!
