In the same way, I don't think anyone would suggest that a captain or crew would ever intentionally put the lives of their passengers (or their own lives for that matter) in danger, but there are unfortunate instances in which other factors clearly affected the judgment and behavior of the crew resulting in incidents.
Personally, all I can say is that I would feel a lot better about UA had they grounded the 787 fleet before the FAA forced them to do so.
Which is what LOT just did it CXed its ORD-WAW flight yet maybe the Polish eqv to the FAA might not have Grounded the 787 yet. It was enough that the FAA did. But they also should have grounded it when hearing ANA & JAL did. OK Europe also now ordered their 787s Grounded so maybe that why LO did it, I hope thats not their reasoning
The 787 is here to stay and will be flying again once it can be assured whats causing the problems and that they are fixed. Till then imo its best to keep them where they are , on the ground
