    The document discusses self-certification in the aviation industry, where companies like Boeing were allowed to certify 96% of their own work without oversight from the FAA. While self-certification cuts costs and saves time, it presents disadvantages like leniency, potential manipulation of guidelines, covering up flaws, and lack of redundancy checks that an outside party would provide. The Boeing 737 MAX crashes highlighted issues with the self-certification process.
