But the fubar software only does something if the AOA sensor is broken. My point is rather obvious. If there are thousands of the SAME sensors working perfectly, day in, day out, on NGs all over the world, it’s very unlikely that two suddenly go wrong within a few months.

Either it’s a different sensor, new with the MAX, or this could one of the universes rarest conincidences. Or the crash is unrelated.
