Eh,I did say it was only that eng's view of the world, but the big players certainly do let bugs through.

Boeing code leaked in '20 [1] and it was ugly, however it was ~network vs. app layer so unclear how it worked at the engine level.

Add in the track record of CAN bus security difficulties and knowing airplanes use similar tech, "generally won't let bugs through" when paired with the footnoted security leak is a gross overstatement.

Before you write it off as an overhyped wired article, it was also a presentation at blackhat [2], so vetted by a fairly rigorous CFP.
