B-737 flaws

I never meant to start a Boeing- Airbus quarrel, all I said is that all the B-737 deffects can lead to fatal result one at a time or a combination of some of them together. As somebody mention what if the crew forgets to turn the fuel pump switches off; it happened on the ground to a Thai B-737, somebody left the pumps on and the resutl was a BIG explotion. Or what if during flight in turbulence, make it light, the elevator has cyclic oscillations, how can it be identified in order to enter a report in the logbook and up to what point can this affect the FCM (flight control module) and, therefore, the airplane's maneuvrability.
I may look a little (?) paranoic , but if Boeing says it can happen, I believe them.
Probably the answer is not in Boeing itself, but in their suppliers and their quality control. :o
