Yep, the problem with the software wasn't the implementation, it was the spec: to operate contrary to the expectations and experience of pilots.

The problem was that they didn't outsource the design spec. I doubt an externally developed design would be so contrary, with a flippant we'll document it and include it in the short brush up training.

The umpteenth comment trilling on as though MCAS was built by contractors when it was explicitly stated in the article that it was developed in-house by Boeing employees.

Still blame the ones defining the spec rather than implementing it.
