Isn't that exactly what I said? That those movable wings wouldn't move the
way they were designed to move at slow speeds? That they needed to be
fixed?

No, it isn't. The weld referred to was in the slab tailplane (stabilator)
actuator rod, and had nothing to do with the wing, moving or otherwise. There
were also failures of the wing carry through box for a time, but that also had
nothing to do with sweeping the wing.
