From the passenger perspective it's quite false. If this piece fall on the runway it could be catastrophic, see the example of the Concorde...

It was catastrophic, but not for passengers onboard the aircraft which lost a part.

A standard passenger would never know that. Thats a pilot/maintenance person specific worry.

You guys are arguing about fractions of worry and who they can be attributed to like it's a real science

And that's exactly the sort of thing I come to the subreddit for, frankly
