Is it really so unrelated? Isn't it a case where a similar phenomenon -- radiation impacting a computer calculation -- happened and it's one we can all relate to more easily, and reproduce if we cared to, than high altitude avionics? Not necessarily disputing but it just seems like a relatable case that helps me understand the issue better. If it's a radically different case somehow I'm interested to learn.

No, because it's a completely different kind of radiation.

Different band, sure. Same principle, right?
