Look, this is getting silly. AAMOF, I do use a bus when convenient. Living a normal life does not include choosing to fly on a newly introduced aeroplane, whether the initial faults have been discovered or not (and I have felt the same about the 380, and have avoided paxing on it).
The real point, of course, is that scoring debating points off people who express caution about the success of the fixes does NOT persuade anyone, and sounds rather desperate. I can well understand anxiety about an aeroplane which is so important for Boeing, and the airlines, but the emotional urgency in responses like that suggests a similarly emotional atmosphere behind the approval of the fixes. "This has to work because it's so important, and anyone who doubts it is JUST NOT LISTENING TO REASON."
