>I'd be very interested in what they are saying if --and only if-- they had access to Boeing and FAA design and test data.

Bollocks. Your analogies are crap too. Getting an FAA type certificate is a complicated, drawn out process, note, that doesn't make it a good process.

I'm betting Musk has as much data about those batteries as Boeing, the FAA, or anyone else alive.

You're betting that, are you? Based on a couple of paragraphs in a news article, you're betting that Mr. Musk has as much data as anyone alive - including the Japanese designers and manufacturers of the battery?

If there were a viable way of determining the facts of the matter, I would be happy to bet pretty much any sum you cared to name against you.
