On: I test in prod

[Elessar]

Your comment begins with "except", but the content agrees with the GP.

GP would like aviation users ("passengers") to not be the ones doing the testing. You state aviation users historically tested -- it's why flight regulations and rules are written in blood. I suspect the blood of passengers is exactly what the GP would like to avoid.

I can't tell if you didn't make the connection, or if your commenting style is just to naturally start negatively. My suspicion is the former, given the throwaway account.

there's no way to write regulations without some user production testing in aviation.

the more "failed tests" in production, the safer aviation becomes.

we give thanks to those who have fallen (literally, out of the sky).

Those aren’t tests in any meaningful sense. That’s just telemetry from an already finished product that failed.
