You've pretty well answered your question, why ask it?

I don't think I've answered my own question at all. I certainly am biased one way - I think Boeing should be regulated more. I thought my bias would be stated well enough by how I worded my original comment, so I didn't explicitly state it. Sorry if that made it seem like I want to just troll people and have bad faith arguments. I don't. I genuinely want to know how other people view this.

My point was that you clearly think they need more oversight, have skewed the question a little towards invoking that answer, and I can't see many people at all suggest, after 2 planefuls of people are killed, that boeing should be allowed any self-cert rights.

I was trying to just state the facts, and pointed out ways to interpret this current piece as over-hyped. I also tried to not paint a graphic picture of what the "MAX controversies" even were, in order to avoid appeals to emotion.

Let me try and reframe my original comment for you. I do currently think that Boeing should be regulated more, but I'm not convinced enough of my own reasons. So I'm wondering whether my perspective would change if I heard compelling alternate ones?

Ah, I now understand. Looking for opposing views to test yours against is very commendable and wise. And quite uncommon.

I can't really help you as I agree too strongly - see my other comment elsewhere re. stress testing.

I can't see any possible reason. The only people reliably who might answer that things are ok as-is are boeing themselves.
