The 737 is not fly by wire.
Airbus fly-by-wire have an alternate law mode where yoke input has matching control surface deflection, just like cable or hydraulic planes. I did not say no software anywhere ever. I said using it to mask aerodynamic deficiency is wrong.
These are transport category aircraft. Not fighter jets. Positive static and dynamic stability is required. All of this is reviewable. Is the software?
