So the question is: Will the FAA/JTSB, etc accept the statistical probability being execeedingly low that a 787 would not run out of fuel and lose a battery on the same flight, and therefore have no wheel braking?
I would think, statistically,

run out of fuel
would be enough of an improbability that the FAA would not even have to consider it, even if the battery failed on EVERY flight.
