All you have shown is how little you understand about load transfer within a composite structure and how these structures can be repaired with almost no increase in weight.

To call the repair a patch is incorrect what Boeing are doing is inserting new structure into the hole and bonding it into place using the scarf technique.

The only people who would see this sort of repair as damaged goods are those who know nothing about the subject.

Please read the posts by Volume & Barit1, these guys have a true understanding of the subject.
