Not sure I understand. If they’re proposing a less exhaustive inspection standard it wouldn’t have done anything to avert this incident or similar ones.
On the contrary, perhaps the cause was down to a single failed wire, but multiple other safety layers were bypassed in this overall failure. A regulatory scheme that would have enforced and caught a single one of those layers would have prevented this event. It's why the term swiss cheese model of safety is discussed. Only when the events line up holes though multiple layers of swiss cheese should an actual catastrophe occur.
