Fair enough and thanks for pointing that out. Even that focuses on "adhere to NASA requirements" rather than "will it work". In between there's stuff like:

> DCMA also found that Boeing personnel made numerous administrative errors through changes to certified work order data without proper documentation

and

> Some technicians reported they had to hunt through layers of documentation to identify required instructions and documentation of work history and key decisions related to the hardware

It sounds like the focus is more on making documents and reading documents and complying with documents than "will this thing fly?"

It's the OIG, the government's auditors. They're not equipped to make engineering decisions, but they are experts at seeing whether that policies ostensibly written by engineers are being followed.
