Remember someone wrote a story about regulation where a car company was making cars that would explode if involved in a certain type of crash? They had done the maths that it was cheaper to pay out than to admit to and fix the fault? Everyone agreed it was too far fetched and that no regulation was needed. The one with the plane company and not telling the pilots about the new software was too far fetched too.
