So as long as pilots know that at slow speeds with a high thrust setting applied will lead to a high AoA - thus avoidance of this scenario surely is what pilots are trained
for?
No, it's been explained before but MCAS is required as stick force requirement reduces at high alpha on the MAX and that is a certification failure. Nothing to do with the pitch power couple.
