So why is it being discussed? Boeing designed the MAX with MCAS and then decided not to tell anyone about it. Obviously they wanted a quick fix and stick pusher does not meet that criteria. From the data and report we know the previous crew actioned the Runaway Stabilizer NNC and the accident crew most likely did not. We do not yet know why.
