I would be careful about the rhetorical difference in an annomaly and a unsafe condition.
In my experience an unsafe condition is one that is likely to evolve to a specified level of hazard to the aircraft within a defined range of probability.
We could go into much greater detail about the defined level of hazards vs probailities that are considered in aircraft design but that would divert this thread.
A simple malfunction needs to be considered in combination as to whether it is likely to lead to failure to complete a safe flight and landing. The strongest argument that it is still safe is the redundancy within the system.
Thus let us not be too quick in judging that the design is faulty.
