No disagreement. Any time you're changing the angle of a stabilizer, the potential exists for loss of control of the aircraft if you lose control of the system adjusting the stabilizer. I doubt anyone disagrees on that point. The context of the discussion at hand is the specific malfunction whcih (apparently) led to loss of control of Lion's 737MAX as the result of bad data from a single AoA sensor.
