Hmmmm. Is this actual ignorance or willful ignorance?

See that "I" in IOC"? That stands for "Initial". A lot of testing is required to change that "I" into an "F". Even after that "I" becomes an "F" constant testing will continue. Tornado, Typhoon, Super Hornet, Eagle have been fully operational for a long time, yet testing continues. C-17 production line recently closed, yet testing continues. B-52 has been flying for well over 6 decades and testing continues. Nearly 8000 737s have been built, yet testing continues. It's the nature of aviation.
