Asking for sources is the internet way of shutting down any argument when you know that whatever sources there are are not going to be made public in the foreseeable future.

But there is more than enough smoke to conclude there is fire, even absent handy incriminating smoking guns in .pdf format. Enough people knew about this and decided not to talk about it when it mattered with two very serious crashes as a result. If you want to chalk that up to innocent mistakes then you really should read up on the whole thing from day #1 and how long Boeing held the line that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the aircraft.

I thought we were well past the stage where this would even need to be argued at all. Asking for proof I'll leave to the courts, in the meantime, even absent proof I'll take my chances in making up my own mind. This may led me astray but if proof to the contrary surfaces I'll be more than happy to adjust. But for now the various narratives seem to support a cover up a lot better than an organization that is transparent about its mistakes and forthcoming with documentation supporting that story.
