My point is that Boeing will take the flak for what is arguably a pilot error situation with the MAX crashes.

We should be very careful to distinguish between actual airframe issues and issues that are related to politics and poor decision making or training.

There's nothing we know of that is fundamentally unsound about the 737 MAX airframe, there are mistakes that have been made in very small subset of the airframes/flights operating, and yet everyone is running around like you're taking your life into your hands every time one flies over your head.

It's hard to say if you're trolling or just very misinformed. Boeing was hiding the fact that MAX had additional system to correct the pitch from the pilots.
