That's a little melodramatic. If anything, the existence of the AD proves that the system has improved. Compare this to Kegworth, where the engines on the 734 were grandfathered from the 733 design despite having to handle more stress. In that case there was no AD until after the report was published, and another 734 suffered the same problem (although thankfully with no loss of life).
