Is an Easy fix proof of sloppy work the first time around?

Here is a thought.

Rumors will have it that Boeing has an MCAS software fix by the end of March, a mere five months after the Lion Air crash, and if this fix is indeed a real fix, and not just a small tweak of some parameters, doesn't this show that Boeing has the knowledge, skills and capacity to crate safe MCAS software.

So this leads me to ask, if this is really true, why the hell did they not do it correctly from the beginning. I am certain that if it comes out that this is an easy fix, and that Boeing did not prioritize it the first time around, that Boeing will be open to severe liability claims.

Clearly this shows that the priority was to get the MAX out fast, and grab as many costumers from the NEO as possible.

I really think that a fast fix shows that Boeing could have done it correctly from the beginning, but chose not to spend the required resources on it.
