I'm sorry, none of that is correct. Did you read my link? The aircraft doesn't meet FAA regulations without the MCAS.

>The Boeing 737 MAX MCAS system is there ONLY to meet the FAA longitudinal stability requirements as specified in FAR Section 25.173, and in particular part (c) which mandates "stick force vs speed curve:, and also FAR Section 25.203 — "Stall characteristics".

It's exactly correct. The two points aren't in opposition.
