1 in a billion is a patently absurd estimation, the guy deserves to be ridiculed. It is exactly this type of estimating that was so criticised in the Challenger Inquiry. It in fact means you could fly a flight a day and not have a failure in nearly 3 million years. Not very likely. People really ought to chalenge these estimates moer often.
