One can imagine how much pressure was put on the F-35C hook design team in the early days to use the same shoe as the F-18 to keep consumable inventory to a minimum and give the DOD quantity of scale savings on ordering.
For the guys in the video to ridicule the team that did the hook design strikes me as 'knocking the little guy', as I wouldn't mind betting that the warnings of a forthcoming problem had been coming up the chain for a long time before the guys at the top took their fingers out of their ears.
