Boeing Battery deemed to set fire again

it is quite amazing. Boeing , by designing a firebox to enclose the battery is only telling us that the battery will definitely ignite again, but we must be satisfied with a fire box and an exhaust pipe. why the need of testing since the fire will eventually be under control. what is the main reason to undergo a test without adressing the root cause of the failure, which, by the way is unknown.
1 minor changes in the battery= approximately no change in design
2 retrofit a firebox and vent pipe= we expect igntion after modification
Why NTSB should give a credit to this...I doubt
