I disagree but can offer no opposing evidence, therefore I'm going to mod your post into oblivion :]

“In the course of the investigation, a new type of flight assistance system known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) came to light. It was intended to bring the flight characteristics of the latest (and fourth) generation of Boeing's best-selling 737 airliner, the "MAX", in line with certification criteria. The issue that the system was designed to address was relatively mild. A little software routine was added to an existing computer to add nose-down trim in situations of higher angles of attack, to counteract the nose-up aerodynamic moment of the new, much larger, and forward-mounted engine nacelles.”
“Apparently the risk assessment for this system was not commensurate with its possible effects on aircraft behaviour and subsequently a very odd (to a safety engineer's eyes) system design was chosen, using a single non-redundant sensor input to initiate movement of the horizontal stabiliser, the largest and most powerful flight control surface. At extreme deflections, the effects of this flight control surface cannot be overcome by the primary flight controls (elevators) or the manual actuation of the trim system. In consequence, the aircraft enters an accelerated nose-down dive, which further increases the control forces required to overcome its effects.”

“The promise is that the existing machines could do the job much better-more easily, more efficiently - if software were better designed.”

Running a long company, that's where you set up a company and legitimately trade with other companies, all the while raising your credit line. Then place a massive final order and disappear.
Seeing as I was born on Christmas Day, I got only the one present, which I figured as cheating. My parents said the one present would have to do :]

Shoosh, we're all supposed to engage in the charade that it isn't going on.

Have these people ever given consideration to not connecting their SCADA units directly to the Internet.

Going by the faded out aspect of your post, someone here doesn't like you quoting facts.
“1. the design shortcomings of MCAS”
“5. The flight crews did not follow the memory runaway trim procedure”
How would the pilots have switched off MCAS if they didn't know it was there?
This is a curiously disingenuous statement. Not only at ‘windup turn’ and not only for “safety tests”, but most importantly when the engines were at maximum thrust such as at take off. Causing the air-frame to experience a pronounced nose-up attitude. The nacelles adding even more upward thrust.
‘Boeing settled on a software feature called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System. As the nose of the jet approached a high angle, suggesting an oncoming stall, MCAS would adjust the stabilizer on the plane’s tail, pushing the nose down, to alleviate the slackness in the control column. “They were trying to make it feel the same, so the pilots wouldn’t require training,”’
No, they didn't tell the pilots as this would require retraining and this would require re-certification.
“Boeing considered the MCAS feature to be so minor that it removed mention of it from the 737 MAX’s pilot manual.”
Boeing lied by omission, that's why when MCAS kicked in on those two crashes the pilots were unaware of MCAS and had no way of knowing how to recover from an MCAS induced nose dive. It was Boeing executive decisions killed those people. If this had happened in the US there would have been uproar by now.
Have a second system that boots and secures the rest of the computer and then switches itself off. As in there is no combination of instructions that can access this second system. A bit like the Intel ME except it's actually secure from remote activation.
