I was a bit taken back by the straits times one article on the ceo headings that say it is not possible to find and repair every flaw. I am shocked this means they are not interested to resolve it a technical issue. Attitude is not there already some more on national paper quite a disgrace for a ceo to say that.

This is not like finding every flaw in a art piece which is subjective. Here is pure science and engineering issue. Yhr thing about science is good is factual based on proven science basis. Can work means can work. Wear out can repair.

I am on software engineering. There is a common understanding among us, that no (commercial) software is bug-free, even after a very comprehensive testing.

I am not a rail engineer. I reckon, for a complex system, with many interlinks and couplings between subsystems, it is likely that a "flaw-less" system is close to impossible.

Don't know the root cause of a major problem, is a nightmare of every engineer. May be the CEO is wrong, be political insensitive on his comment, especially during the press conference.
