In fact fleet hours were only 52,000 so Boeing must substantiate to a critical audience that improvements to the battery system yield at least a 200 fold reduction in risk of failure.
It's worse than that: the odds of two "one per 10 million hour" events happening in the first 50,000 hours is one in 40,000.
