I very much tend to agree and given the bird below was the 2nd off the line and has flown many thousands of hours in safety; including years carrying 380 bums on seats to tourist destinations all over the shop (as G-GCAL with CalAir/Novair) and is stil going strong.
Yet look at the early history this very new technology aircraft had.
