As such, I'm sure their F35 is exactly per Lockheed's specs, every flaw included. They are taught not to question. They are the most frustrating people I have ever worked with.

In this context, if there was a glaring flaw with Lockheed's, it was exactly reproduced in their's and perfected in its inadequacy. Like I said, theirs was no doubt the full measure of Lockheed's. For better or for worse.

Yep, exactly. I believe there's a saying that says something like "the nail that stands out gets hammered down"
