I think the first two repliers have never heard of Ockham's razor. I mean a micro meteorite could have struck some part of the wheel and knocked it off too, but probably not. Though that would be boeing's fault to, because they didn't make it micro meteorite tolerant.
Is it not Ocam's razor?
It can be Occam or Ockham. It's named after William of Ockham, but it was the fashion at that time for scholars to "Latinise" their names, hence the alternative spelling.
Truly one of the english language moments of all time.
