That would put you at odds with Boeing's test pilots.
The issue is not that the airplane shows negative or neutral aerodynamic pitch stability, it's that it does not exhibit an increasing stick force gradient, as required by certification rules.

In some ways that's likely worse news than an airplane that's inherently unstable in general, no? A corner case, and one that evidently isn't actually all that uncommon. If you're building something like an F-16 you know that you absolutely have to make the fly-by-wire correct and robust, and the ground crews similarly know that if anything affects its performance the plane isn't fit to fly.
