And we don't want to talk about MD-80s losing (or 'loosing' for losers who can't spell) the entire empennage during certification.. and let's not discuss the problems with the early B-52s that were shedding rudders... or the 737 and the rudder problems...

And let's also not discuss how rudder slams from full stop to full stop exceed the design limits of ANY airplane out there...

And since you are a SAAB driver, we don't want to talk about the problems the 2000 had which required first the MECs and then the PECs for elevator feel...

Never let facts interfere with uninformed opinion.
