I disagree only in that the focus should be at a higher level.
Boeing was so focused on making sure that the 737MAX would be the same type rating as the 737, despite it having very different handling characteristics, that they developed things like MCAS which made it kinda-sorta like a normal 737, the only way that would succeed is if things like "MCAS failure" did not exist and therefore did not require training.
It's not that they didn't properly train people on MCAS, it's the fact that MCAS shouldn't have existed in the first place.
