We only lost a billion dollars worth of composite materials, metal, plastic, rubber, etc. Replaceable.

Dave, if what you say is true..... then the software engineers should have been executed for gross negligence.
Certain critical functions whether in a aircraft, ship, refinery, hospital, etc should never ever be allowed to shutdown on account of the processor declaring itself "sick".
A correctly designed system would have allowed the flight critical systems to operate in a "dumb mode" while the main computer and its backup decides wtf to do.
And yes Dave, I do have a background in hi reliability systems.
