She didn't agree with the testing procedure that required measurements at -100 degree F. Maybe to most people that sounds like a big so what? It sounds really dumb because, when will you see -100 degrees F? Hmmm our military is all over the world, even in the Artic and Antartic? Who was she to determine the requirements are dumb and she can just ignore them. Steel contracts when it gets colder and different steels contract at different rates so YOU TEST THEM and accurately report measurements. Additionally, the contraction creates stresses on other materials where joints are created. Falsifying those reports cascades to other materials. Lying about it for 30 years! What about potential air craft?
Metallurgy is a very complex subject. Metallurgy for warships is even more complex. The implications of failure are very obvious. In fact, things are done to the steel and aluminum to make it even harder, like shot and laser peening. I surmise this person is compromised somehow. It's obvious that it is big enough of a deal for Q to call it out years ago.

Exactly, the local story I read that almost disregarded this as not a really big deal.
