> The limit is five why's and often you can't even get that. Planes still crash.
This is a shockingly ignorant statement or willfully misleading. Air safety has improved by at least an order of magnitude[1] because of the culture of seeking out the truth, regardless of how disruptive or inconvenient.
It is very rare to have a commercial airline crash now and significantly rarer to not understand exactly why (MH370 being a notable exception).
Wherever you got that “often you can’t even got that” is complete and utter bullshit.
The fact that commercial airlines don't have many crashes is due to a completely vertical integrated system beyond just the analysis of crashes. Are you saying we need to integrate virology globally?? I'm for that, sure. General aviation is 3x as dangerous as motorcycles.
General aviation is irrelevant because the NTSB does not care about it nor does the FAA ratchet regulations based on it.

It has nothing to do with vertical integration (or you don’t know what that term means). There are several manufacturers of airplanes, several different manufactures of the engines for them, and hundreds of airlines all with their own business models, flight routes, personnel, financing models (old vs new planes), crew models (contract maintenance vs in-house for various parts), fleet models (unified 737 like southwest, potpourri like the other majors), regional offload (skywest), etc.
The only thing consistent about airlines is that they have to follow a strict set of regulations set by the FAA written in blood root caused by the NTSB.
If the government took your attitude of not caring about the cause because “it’s too hard” or “we don’t think it will be useful” (despite not knowing it), commercial aviation would be just as dangerous as general aviation and nobody in their right mind would fly frequently.
