I think it's a fair distinction to raise but feel this presentation is disengenous.
As far as we can tell, MCAS is intended to provide a more consistent and predictable handling response in incipient stall conditions.
How does an intermittent and unadvertised control input, of complex algorithmic intensity, every 5 seconds, provide that?
