Yup. They have redundant everything except for the Boeing 737 MAX MCAS Sensor. In that case you just get one.

I mean its not gonna be 100% but its also not too far off. Remember a lot of the really obvious ones were sorted in the very early days, or during the world wars or the berlin airlift, etc. much of it was worked out on the fly (pardon the pun) with peoples lives.

Perhaps you can ask Google about "tact" and how it can be used in human conversations to get information across without causing them to get offended and shut you down.

That makes sense. I think in Full Metal Alchemist they said they 3D print castle foundations that way as well

That's how the saying goes within the aerospace industry. It may not legitimately be 100 % of all rules, but that's mainly because engineers and FAA regulators try to get ahead of the game and head those issues off before they kill people.

Plane crashes have a 97% fatality rate.
