Okay, but would it do any good to point out that the Max isn’t a fly-by-wire plane, and that the 737 dates back to the mid 1960s?

Only the spoilers are FBW on the Max. Everything else operates conventionally.

It’s possible for even Donald Trump to go off half-cocked.

Not being a pilot or having intimate info on the plane then I cannot comment on all of the specifics of the information that you have given. But I can say that your conclusions are obviously wrong. Since it has been reported that the official cause of the first crash was an air speed sensor(Reading zero Airspeed) that caused the computer to dive the plane into the ground in an attempt to recover from what was perceived to be a stall. So you cannot even say that the computer does not have enough control to cause that.
