Sure, but is it really a question here that Boeing definitely would not try to hide this in the first place?

Why would Boeing willingly and knowingly ship a plane with a fuel leak? They know a fuel leak has an extremely deadly potential.

What could _possibly_ be the interest for Boeing to ship _one_ plane with a fuel leak? If that was a systematic thing, then yes why not, we could say they hid it on purpose. But here it doesn’t make sense.
