Surely they can predict the expected/likely value of an AoA sensor with all of the other telemetry available to an aircraft computer. Surely in combination with software fixes to ensure that both sensors are factored in, they could augment with that computed value to pick a sensor in the case of disagree.
If the needed telemetry is already exposed to MCAS, it could all be fixed in software.

A software-only fix is not good enough when the standard in the industry is to have triply redundant systems for safety-critical systems. This is one of those things we learned at the cost of a lot of blood.
