Sorry, I didn't mean to be taking shots at any airplane company. I just disagree that multi-module consensus
is a reliable form of EDAC. I gave a human factor example, but there are technical reasons too.

I wonder why you disagree about this? The only reason I can thing of is:
- same sw with same hw with same lifecycle would probably have the same issue. (vendor diversity would fix this)
- The consensus building unit is still a possible single point of failure.
Any other reasons you might doubt it as a methodology? It seems to have worked pretty well for Airbus and the failure rate is pretty low, so... It obviously is functional.
Modern units I'm sure have ECC, AND redundace as well.
