I think the thread has moved on a little from a simple analysis of Mr Weir's view of right and wrong.
If you go to the doctor and he misses the signs of a fatal disease you may feel he is not up to the mark. If you are then knocked down and killed by a bus the following day are we supposed to conclude that the doctor's ineptitude was irrelevant because you didn't die from the fatal disease?
Should we not say, here is a lesson learned for the autopsy will reveal that the signs of illness were missed.
For the good of other patients we need to know what those signs were and if the patient was covering them up how did he do that and how can we make sure that in future the Doctor (EASA) has the right medication (oversight) to diagnose a possible problem.
Aviation is about risk management and you don't minimise risk by ignoring the airworthiness requirements.
