“MCAS, heralded as a pioneering advancement in aviation safety, was meticulously designed to avert potential stalls during flights. “

Funny, my military flight training did a superb job of teaching us how to recognize and recover from stalls. Remember that Airbus coming from South America that crashed due to a defected software controlled stall warning system. The pilot was trained to believe the software.

Exactly. Why didn't they just turn the damn system off and fly the airplane "manually"?

I can tell you this though: a dirty Angle of Attack probe could drive the F-4's altimeters to crazy readings - but obviously non-sensical.

Interesting isn't it? Interesting how total reliance on software and systems generally leads to total failure when it happens not to work.

Of course, everyone knows that software and sensors are totally reliable and never ever fail. Right? /s
