H.G Wells foresaw the world government and scientific control

Thinking about it, planned obsolescence and depreciation are not the same thing.

I did not say they were. But if planned obsolescence is occurring won't that increase the amount of depreciation? So if economists do not compute and report Demand Side Depreciation aren't we less likely to notice and think about Planned Obsolescence? It would amount to Planned Depreciation.

If he had been an aeronautical engineer writing equations then she would have been totally justified.

If we have been flying the economy on a defective equation then we may have a problem. But it is only algebra. Do airlines file depreciation on their planes?

They replace worn parts, but do they rewire the electrics, and upgrade systems? This is something I have wondered about before when told by the cabin crew that "this is a very safe plane, it has been flying for X years!" I feel much safer in a new car designed with front and side airbags, crumple zones and power steering than in an old classic car. One would assume that the same has to be true of aircraft engineering. However, I think we have digressed far from the original subject now.

yes, sometimes entirely.

I would expect the electronics in the cockpit to be designed into modular plug-in boxes. This would be for rapid repair but also make technological upgrades possible. Depreciation is an economic issue.
