The blades are supposed to be contained by the inner cover in case of failure and that's the most dangerous part besides a fire... hundreds of blades suddenly flying out radially, sometimes towards the plane, but mostly away.

Yeah if I have to trade screws, I say engine cover is less important than window or exit door screws.
