"The occurrence was the only known example where this design limitation led to a pitch-down command in over 28 million flight hours on A330/A340 aircraft"
The common-platform A330/40 had been in service for 15 years before this event. It really was a freak failure of one computer unit which went haywire and which led to a design change to mitigate it. That was 11 years ago.
It is deceptive to claim it's anything like the 737 Max issue.
