Why do we have to stitch the wing covering fabric to the ribs, why don't we simply inject glue (simple) ?

Rib stitches are things of beauty. Cubs are now antiques, and should look the part. Rib stitches are part of the mystique. My opinion.
That said, the Univair rib may have a sharp edge that will cut the stitches. Could be the pops are safer on those ribs.
