I've honestly not read anything that actually indicates a software error,
though I haven't looked in the last few days at it. Everything I have
read up to now indicates Engineering and Management no-nos. They
appeared to improperly designed how some of the hardware was to be installed
then made a software patch to compensate for it. They then convinced
some governing body that there was no pilot retraining needed for the new
software. I don't think the software was actually at fault. Again,
maybe something different has surfaced in the last few days that I haven't
seen yet.
