Software is an integral part of modern flight. Somewhere up the chain, there’s a highly-paid software engineer/manager who helped design and signed off on the spec.

Would a highly paid software engineer be expected to understand the potential consequences of runaway trim? I’d think that would be up to the aerodynamics folks, who most likely said that it was not a problem.
