Well. Funny thing about "doubt". Doubt is an intuition, sometimes based on facts, to some extent or another. While one may take information in and make a conclusion, another may have some misgivings.
"They didn't find anything..." "It was a false alarm..."
The assumption was the fire service was summoned due to "smoke". There was none observed? Was the alarm related to "smell" only? What was the nature of the odor? What was the local reaction to the smell?
Some of us are satisfied with a rumor of "false alarm" others not? This aircraft has an unfortunate history of thermal runaway, causing damage. Fortunately, (for Boeing?) the 'fix' involves encasing the offending kit in a box, with a post CA exhaust that pretty much hides evidence of further trouble...
Anyone but Boeing know how many problems have occurred? Does it rise to the level of "incident"? Or does Boeing simply change out the charcoal remnants with a new battery, as they did, without reporting the failures, as before? Does it make it to the aircraft log? Certainly, right?
