Having been involved in the early years of the 737 as a BSEE developing automated test systems for the aircraft I can say that the development\testing\review\approval of the software systems is more stringent then anything I have seen in my 30 year career. I would say it is impossible for a single disgruntled person to affect any change after approval.
