You arrive at the airport and get checked in and are about to board when you look out of the window and see the plane is a 737 MAX. Would you get on it?

I don't care what assurances the CEO gives I want the pilot to be able to turn the software off if he needs to. 300+ people are dead because of poor software and an increasing arrogant belief that software is fool proof. I've worked all my life in software and there is no way I'd get on one of these.

Tnat brought back memories of many years ago when I was taking flying lessons in a Cessna 150. One day the instructor said it was time to learn how to get out of a stall. However, in order to do that you first have to create a stall, so he put the plane into a really nose-up attitude at around 2,000feet and within a few seconds the horrendous blaring of a klaxon sounded in the cabin indicating a stall, and the plane immediately went nose down almost vertically...Quite scary to say the least. After a few solos I was told to practice the maneuver of recovering from a stall. The first few times I never did feel really comfortable doing it. I can sort of imagine the terror of the passengers in those few seconds prior to the crash.

error detection software cant detect ALL ( or every error) program errors because ( short halting problem follows) you put the error programme through itself and tweak the output to say 'no error' if there is, and 'error free' if it finds one
and th outputs are discordant.
or...... if an error detection prog was perfect then you could use it to detect if programs halted or not ( that is looped) and you cant do that either. (proof by reduction)
