If true, then this right here is the problem root. Why isn't pilot limit respected with regard for the MCAS specifically? Are any other systems so independent?
I remember years ago the Boeing folks claiming that the automated Airbuses would be dangerous because the pilot always knows best. So how did it come to this on a Boeing?

The answer appears to be something along the lines of "because the whole point of MCAS is to stop the pilot flying the aircraft beyond the limits of stability".
