There is no change in complexity when things go wrong with FADEC.


Yes, there is, because digital systems have different failure modes
from those of analog systems, and digital failure modes are often
catastrophic failure modes.


You should be advised that not all digital systems are designed like
Windows...

For example, most of today's cars are designed with computer controlled
systems as well. Yet you don't see cars explode every time you click the
right turn signal.
