Man imagine being on that development team. I wonder if anyone thought it was a bad requirement at the time and whose job it was to identify that (and was the issue flagged and if not why not). A programmer isn’t an aeronautical engineer but it really says how a whole systems view is necessary. I work in a field with increased specialization but we build systems and sometimes similar things come up. There are few who see the end to end system for itself. I imagine rockets and the space shuttle get that level of scrutiny and that books have been written about it.

They knew a dual/multi-sensor system would be required. They aldo knew putting one in would have mandated simulator training; and they had to avoid that at all costs. That's why the MAX accidents are so notably engineering failures; the industry knew what needed to be engineered, but business shot it down, and forced them to build something fundamentally unsafe in the interests of maximizing profit, and not sweating the product in the box.
