It's ironic that it's a Boeing with bad software (or sensors) interfering between yoke and plane. After all, historically, Boeing has had the philosophy of trusting the pilot with direct control of the plane. This is in comparison with Airbus, where controls are by stick instead of yoke, and pilots are taught to trust the flight computer and move the controls less. (Of course, these days both manufacturers build fly-by-wire planes.) [1] The addition of a 'maneuvering characteristics augmentation system' seems very unlike Boeing. I guess it became necessary after adding too-big engines without otherwise adjusting the airframe... [2] This "we'll fix it with software later" attitude works well with CPU errata and maybe Teslas, but it doesn't look like we're there yet for airplanes, unfortunately.
