One would have thought/hoped so.
But then again, one would have thought/hoped that the engineering response to a warning of a discrepancy between the inputs (either pitot or hydraulic) to the Elevator Feel Computer would have been to investigate those inputs, rather than just cleaning an electrical connector on an 11-week-old aircraft (!) and then confirming that there was no fault in the EFC itself, before signing off the aircraft as fit for flight.
