I think VONKLUFFEN is flogging a dead horse. That theory has been supersed by the leaked preliminary accident investigation report, which confirms that MCAS was activated in the Ethiopian crash. The rest of the explanation does not make sense in view of the known ADS-B speed and altitude data points.
