Nope, the excessive authority given to MCAS in combination with the hard to rewind trim (particularly at high speeds) were a mousetrap to be sprung. There are many ways to trigger this mousetrap. This is not a chain, this is a cluster with many chains hanging from it.

Correct. Many factors contributed, but there was one prevailing factor - the defective design of MCAS.
