I'm a little curious how "JOE BLACK" could tell what floor panels are structural, from looking at an artist's rendering made years before the first prototype ever took flight, of the first airliner built primarily of new composite materials. Or that a transparent material is glass.

I was at Boeing for a few years of the 787 project, including the same time as the above mock-ups were made. If you knew details of the structural performance of this aircraft back then, you knew more than me or any of my coworkers did!
