I guess my analogy wasn't a very good one.
I hope some readers do get the point - IMO it isn't about the rules, it's really about the application and enforcement of rules that are already in force.

I still contend that the "grandfathering" rules and the system design rules are adequate, but some people in Boeing knowingly did not comply and obfuscated to a understaffed FAA, who didn't have the resources to verify compliance. If you accept that it's a compliance problem, not a rules problem, then the solution is better enforcement, not to rewrite the rules. I have seen the extremely cozy nature of Boeing's relationship with the FAA, growing at a time when the FAA has no budget, is losing staff, and every few years they're all laid off for a month while the fed's figure out how to count. This is not an atmosphere that promotes diligent overseers.

Time for a split, eh?
