> The 737 Max’s flaw is that it doesn't really fly well and needs software to regulate it, and a human to override the software, which is just odd. It's not really odd though. One of the first A320 crashes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296) was also influenced by computer doing opposite of what the pilot tried to achieve (pilot flying at extremely low altitude into the trees tried to pull up to avoid the trees, but computer was set up to ignore that and instead lower the nose first to gain speed, before pulling up, to avoid a stall). The plane would have probably crashed even if the computer did what pilot commanded, but hey, my point is that computers override pilots these days, and it's not odd. It's probably for the good, overall.
