Your paper is quite comprehensive. And like a trial lawyer's rebuttal,
you only reply to issues raised during the argument phase.
Since you seem to be interested in collecting more Ariane V threads
before publishing, please take a look at a very brief essay on my web
page on the subject. I wrote it to direct student programmers to read,
not has a high-level treatise to be taken seriously. But...
My essay is the only one I have read so far that ignores DBC and testing
issues. It proposes a much simpler software design goal that might have
prevented the crash and made DBC a moot point. Please take the time to
read it, and you'll see what I mean.
