Despite all we've read about this subject, are we really still implying that this is a software problem?!

Very basic rules of commercial aircraft design were violated during the development of 737MAX.

No point in listing all the issues here again. Let's just point out one: There should have been more than 2 AoA sensors feeding MCAS. No excuses.

We don't know it's not a software problem (in addition to lack of hardware inputs). We don't know that anything in the system is fit for purpose whatsoever. That's what an obvious exclusion of basic failure testing tells us. That the system had NO critical oversight.
