@jikodesu one problem is that so many stories that scare us and get us so excited end up debunked by the actual investigations when they come out months after the fact.

But by then the narratives and conclusions have been set in concrete, so nobody goes back to revisit them.

Boeing in particular has been dealing with that, and it's not clear what any company PR department can do to ask the public to slow down, ignore the rushes to judgement of reporters, and wait for the real investigations to conclude.
