Sure, but my point is that the perspective for an aircraft is only beginning to be produced in huge numbers might be a bit different to a solution for an aircraft later on in production life. Especially where the processes of the original recent certification are being claimed to be imperfect. Hopefully other airworthiness authorities in Canada, Europe & Asia etc will take an independent, more clean-sheet view and not be steam-rollered into denying the use of hind sight now that the MAX is back on the ground.
