That is the issue, not dissembling and lame attempts to minimize rhe hazard.
AB have built an a/c that is virtually completely dependent on processed data, the exclusion of mitigating procedures, or even a plan to anticipate failure.
The recent workaraound for disabled AoA vanes was ad hoc
It became policy only after it succeeded. That is called Flight Test.
Disabling the AirData system by switching off ADRs qualifies as an UAS event.
I have no patience with anyone who tries to smooth over a genuine risk.
Especially if it is transparently partisan to the airframer, rather than objective discussion.
My bias is safety in aviation. Let the feelings and sensibilities pound sand.
