For me there is a difference between an "AoA increase" and a "positive AoA rate". Hope you can clarify that during your further explanations.

I was wondering if you were talking about "positional feedback" with MCAS or "force feedback" or both. In another explanation you exclude the "positional".

If you use the cutout and remove the power you disable MCAS ... which would put you outside the 'normal' certified envelope... do I read that correctly? ... With MCAS aimed at the NNC part of things, using the cutout appears to push you in yet again an other area, and outside certification?... Or is that a wrong interpretation?
I think you would be correct but the NNC given by Boeing/FAA does not caution you to avoid whatever regime MCAS was designed to protect against. Takeaway being why have MCAS in the first place? Yes, I know, certification pencil whip.
