Lazy Reddit style comments, do you ever contribute?

I look down the chain of these comments and looks like others had no problem

No what you see down the chain of comments are people confidently repeating the exact pattern that the OIG report on this failure actually blames for it.

They keep insisting there's some binary distinction between type certification and production certification. The entire crux of OIG's diagnosis is that this is actually a much more permeable and fluid process, and the permeability of it is exactly what allowed a faulty MCAS design to make it to production.
