A certain poster? The folks who point out the problems Soyuz has had,
and how it's flight record is barely different from that of the
Shuttle (and worse in some ways), are a distinct minority. Folks
don't like having their dogma (simple is always better!) disturbed by
facts.

Shuttle and Soyuz have both had their close calls. They've also had two
fatal flights each. Statistically speaking, it's hard to tell which one
is safer than the other because they're both absolutely awful when
compared to something like a passenger airliner.

Oh no argument there.
