As usual ... putting the blame Boeing for the faults ...
But no matter how Boeing modifies the plane for safety, the main cause of the problem (the batteries) are still there.

OH THAT is interesting, so actually sensors just revealed the issue and were not at blame, somebody really sealed what is supposed to prevent those batteries for overheating, so they could really ignite a fire again, that is a lot different than the previous report stating about some sensor problem "not endangering safety".

the modification operation was not fully done
So modifications to cope with an unsolved problem were not properly carried out? Well that's assuring, isn't it.

Yeah, this was a HORRIBLE tragedy! Hundreds died because the sensor... They didn't?
Well the passengers were frightened because the sensor... They weren't?
Well the airline was embarrassed because the sensor... did exactly what it was supposed to do and warn the flight crew that something was not normal - which turned out to be an installation error not a design error.
But why deal with facts when we can fire-up the hyperbole machine?!

the sensor ...did exactly what it was supposed to do
I think you missed the point. The senor didn't do what it is was supposed to do because a repair crew had left a piece cover some holes, blocking air circulation and thus giving the sensor false readings.
Sorry for the "hyperbole."
