Artemis 1 bad sensor

 This was an interesting article:

Bad sensor ?  Anyone who has owned a car knows about bad sensors.  And we've all waved something at a smoke detector after a cooking/toasting smoke event.  Nuisance trips from GFCI wall outlets, yup.  

I hope that NASA is correct (and suspect they are).  I don't really know that much about sensors but it's got to be hard to verify that one inside of a big rocket is working correctly or not.  I think that current day rockets being designed have many advantages over ones from the 1970s (like the Artemis) due to the relatively small/cheap electronics that can be used.
 

Cheap video must be really handy for the engineers to add eyes/ears to potential problem areas.  Everyone could see stuff burning when Spacex was launching their Starship prototypes, but the engineers must have known whether the stuff on fire was important or not.
