Someone some where had a wild idea that instead of a lot of simple, cheap planes, we build a few jack-of-all planes with complex systems.

BTW, depending on when, you have less time to react in an aircraft system failure.

Probably, some idiots in the Air Force have no idea what it all means, and have been brainwashed with marketing slogans from the industry.

You know what Scotty used to say to Kirk? A phrase like "I'll need at least 6 hours to get it working again Cap'n!" Then he did it in 2, and made himself a name as a miracle worker. Who would know, he wrote the book on warp engine dynamics himself.

Now imagine the reverse, the Air Force wants software but the brass doesn't know sh*t about programming. Imagine the amounts of money is made by the industry, and how easy some men can be corrupted. Who can read through all that stuff anyway? It's not like someone can take a ruler to measure dimensions. It's like DNA, we've got a huge amount that is decribed as "junk" and no-one knows what it does. What if programmers have added huge amounts of code that doesn't do anything than point to dev>null and made a few intentional bugs while they where at it?
