Absolutely. I feel that the motives which led to the situation are quite important though in the greater scheme of things. To phrase it another way, without MCAS the 737 Max didn't meant the requirements of certification and so wouldn't have gone into production. The alternative wasn't to train pilots into how to handle the new stall characteristics. Of course, the region of flight that MCAS was intended to activate in is also a bit of an edge case. Without MCAS we may have seen an aircraft flown into a stall, most likely around a critical phase of flight (landing or a go-around), but that would have involved a pilot ignoring numerous warnings (stick shaker activation, 'stall stall' oral alerts etc) and you'd be better categorised as pilot error than directly related to the handling characteristics. Unfortunately, due to a terrible system design, MCAS appears to be activating in regions of flight outside of the design intent and with greater authority than it should ever have been given.
