Pilots, one of them being Chesley Sullenberger, have a differing opinion: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/19/734248714/pilots-criticize-boeing-saying-737-max-should-never-have-been-approved https://www.npr.org/2019/06/19/734248714/pilots-criticize-bo... If I had to trust one person to have an honest and balanced opinion in this debacle, it's him. Edit (added these sentences): from my limited knowledge, the worst problem was that Boeing changed the trim-cutout switches (https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeing-altered-key-switches-in-737-max-cockpit-limiting-ability-to-shut-off-mcas/ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boein...), which rendered past (assumed) knowledge of how to disable MCAS if shit hits the fan obsolete. Imagine you're in panic, realizing you've got the same problem as another plane which just recently crashed, try to disable MCAS by turning those switches and what happens doesn't match what you expect. I'd have a hard time keeping cool.
