    We have all drunk the Kool Ade. If there was an all-out war and our enemies lobbed a bunch of emp munitions on us, taking out the Internet it would be complete and total disruption. But after the dust settles we would right back at it. We are all bozos addicts on this bus.

    (yes, it makes a difference)

    PARIS/WASHINGTON/MONTREAL, June 13 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab is investigating a new quality problem with its 787 Dreamliner after discovering that hundreds of fasteners have been incorrectly installed on the fuselages of some undelivered jets, two people familiar with the matter said.
    The latest in a series of manufacturing snags affecting the U.S. planemaker involves incorrect "torquing" or tightening in a Boeing plant of more than 900 fasteners per plane - split equally between both sides of the jet's mid-body, they said.
    ...
    The latest manufacturing flaw was discovered inside the company's South Carolina plant where the 787's lightweight carbon-composite skin is attached to skeletal supports inside the fuselage sections called longerons.
    The sources said the affected fasteners had been torqued from the wrong side, using the head instead of the associated nut.
    In January, Boeing issued a bulletin to suppliers that laid out practices to ensure bolts are properly torqued following inspections of 737 MAX 9s grounded in the wake of the blowout.

    Never considered the strength of the fastener being affected by tightening the bolt or the nut...

    Maybe they want to head to stay flush and immobile with the surface? So that the rotating head doesn't wear the surface material or create any small voids and make it easier to loosen down the road? Just thinking out loud.

    and the bolt head is liable to abrade the carbon fiber shell if it is turned under pressure?

    Basically you should follow the method that's been tested and specified for best results.

    Also:

    When to Torque the Bolt or Nut?

    The answer depends on the specific situation and the type of bolt or nut being used. In general, it’s recommended to torque the side with the smaller bearing face. This is because the frictional forces are greater on the smaller surface, which can lead to uneven tightening and potential damage.

    They must be approaching contract negotiating time. Seems big union manufacturing jobs have a quality issue right before and during negotiations.
