In a different comment, you wrote:

> The 737 can be flown just fine without MCAS turned on as it has absolutely nothing to do with making the aircraft stable.

which suggests that MCAS would not have been necessary for certification, if the MAX was being certified as a completely new aircraft type.

An aircraft might be stable and able to be flown just fine, yet not pass certification requirements.
