As MCAS operation is a non-normal event (when it's working properly) would it not have been a good idea to make it trigger an EICAS alert message 'MCAS ACTIVE'. Properly trained crews would be able to quickly evaluate the situation and accomplish the runaway stab checklist if appropriate. Apologies if this has already been suggested.
