Obvious solution: we would need to reduce the feel by a factor of 0.8 across all range and then use the new 20% headroom for MCAS. The rule is concerned about the linearity, I am almost sure that the feel in the 737 has a lot of margin to be softened.
If the feel factor on the MAX was changed, it would not be the same as the NG model, and would need a separate type certificate. That does not help anybody...
