The locations of the engine did not cause the crash.

The locations of the engine necessitated flawed control mechanism designs which caused the crash.

The locations of the engine and a plane flown without mcas will also cause the plane to crash.

The technical debt transferred over to the control mechanism and now all the engineers and people who worked on and funded the plane are responsible for killing over 300 people. These are peoples lives at stake. Fix the technical debt. Saying the control mechanism crashed the plane and just fixing that is like saying you didn't put enough duct tape over the real problem.

Don't Cover it up.
