OT - Being 787 issues, does this mean carbon composite has issues?

Hi,

 I thought this would be interesting to share, just in case someone here has
interest in airliner manufacturing. It seems the new composite wings failed
to hold 150% of the maximum operating load. Now, my question is, is this
under performance a design over sight or does this imply carbon composite
properties are not as solid as they have been sold out to be?

Anyway, this may be interesting to follow.

Regards,

William
