Agreed that it is technologically advanced, not to mention almost unimaginably complex. I would not want to be in charge of quality control for it. I might never sleep again. Still, it doesn't matter how advanced it is if it catches on fire in mid-flight.

IMO this is an example of why the government is not axiomatically bad. I'm glad the FAA grounded the Dreamliner until the problem(s) can be fixed.
