Re: We all need less stress...
I was going to ask the same thing.
FWIW "excess stress" was a major problem on early steam catapaults until they got it right. Pulling the nosewheel off doesn't help launches much.
The clue might be in the other part: EMALS could not "readily" be electrically isolated for maintenance,
Meaning that someone's skimped in the deployed design.
