That would fall under provoking Murphy’s Law. 
Murphy has a lot to answer for
I wouldn’t go up in any fly-by-wire aircraft. I love aviation-worked in the field years ago-but no mechanical hookup to control surfaces makes me damned nervous. Lithium-ion in that application is dumb… not talking about a flashlight you can toss away from you if it overheats.

i guess you don’t touch airbus products do you? lol

I saw that - Boeing needs to hire a flashaholic !
When you’re talking about planes as big and powerful as these, mechanical hookups to control surfaces would be so hard to move they’d be useless. And one thing funny is long runs of hydraulics are far more prone to failure than the solid state sensors and servo controls that large planes use. I work in avionics by the way.
That’s not what should scare you though. Even though planes may get out with a few problems what’s scarier is once the planes are out there and maintenance starts being required things start to get hazy and untraceable. Things like repair work being contracted out to cheaper foreign companies. That wouldn’t be a problem since the facilities are supposedly FAA certified. That’s rarely checked on and often times to save a buck there’s only one FAA certified mechanic delegating work to uncertified mechanics, but you know the FAA is supposed to inspect the work too. I recall BP was supposed to be checked on for oil rig safety also. One really shocking example is fiberglass work for small aircraft was farmed out to a contractor who subcontracted aircraft fiberglass work to a surfboard shop.
Next someone is going to say airplane skins are stuck on with tape instead of rivets. Actually, it’s pretty good double sided foam tape.
