You can beat your chest all you like but the main point is we are not where we should be. FAA is only going to react to industry failures. This is really on the shoulders of industry to find better solutions. Poring water on and spraying a halon fire extinguisher on a spewing lap filling a small cabin with massive amounts of un-breathable heavy toxic smoke is not a solution.
We can all beat our chest an question the definition of what "is" is, or what defines the term expert but that doesn't bring anyone closer to anything.
