Band-aid on a band-aid - that's the Boeing design philosophy of the Max. The AoA display makes little, if any, safety contribution to the flight deck (procedure wise) and the AOA disagree light even less. What is a pilot supposed to do when the AoA disagree light illuminates? Hit the trim switches? I wonder how often that light will illuminate, anyway. Probably often enough to get ignored.
