Well, when the crash-under-load problems were at their worst, plenty of people were saying a lottery would be more fair. This is essentially that, with a requirement to act reasonably quickly if your number comes up. It could be worse, but I'm quite sure lots of people will disagree.
What you say is very true and especially applies to the Safety Departments. Safety is never about safety. Safety is about reaction to a condition. Management only wants to know that a condition has been identified and that a change was made because of the recognition. That will suffice until the next condition pops up.
