What charmingly disingenuous weasel-wording!

Both Boeing and the FAA know that fixing the physics is technically the 
best solution. My belief on this is that Boeing told the FAA (/sub 
rosa/) that they didn't want to pay for the best solution and the FAA 
obligingly rolled over (again).


Still harbouring no intention of flying in a recertified 737 MAX,
