      The reason I think that it’s unlikely to be problematic is because the experts quoted in the article said it’s unlikely to be problematic.

      I also have a very small amount of knowledge on this and know that planes fly with missing parts/broken things all the time, just like how everything in our car isn’t working 100% of the time either but we still drive it.
