...except for the part where I say we should examine the root cause and make appropriate adjustments?

Or should we find every software developer who ever worked on the 737 MAX and throw them in jail?

Because brutal punishment of errors is what leads to a culture of quality improvement, right?

No. You chose to start out pointing the finger of blame at the media and adding a vague statement about fixing the issue is mere lip service.

You now go to the opposite extreme, employing the fallacy of the excluded middle and emotive language like 'brutal punishment' to invalidate an argument that was never made.

Your dishonesty only highlights the weakness of your position.
