Boeing think that Boeing knows.

I don't know what their reasons are, but for some reason they believe that this is limited to the -8 and -9. Is the MCAS installed only on the -8 and -9 but not on the -7, or any previous models? I don't know, just asking the question. It doesn't appear that there's a lot of information about this MCAS.
