Electrically assisted vertical trim is not a critical flight system. That is why there are two cutout switches next to the trim wheels so that the pilots can turn it off. You are getting yourself worked up about something that you haven’t got a clue about. Period...

Juan Browne’s latest 737 Max update explaining why this wasn’t a simple runaway stabilizer trim issue.

Any system that relies on a single sensor to make decisions is a single point of failure.. no way, none whatsoever that this design was approved and certified as is. Someone lied about how the system behaved or how it was designed.

To believe the FAA would knowingly certify a system with a single point of failure on a commercial airplane is laughable.
