So the dog that hasn't barked, as far as I know, is this:
Aside from the three-crew Lion Air flight that preceded the mishap flight, where are all the crews who might have experienced an AoA failure that triggered MCAS at flaps-up, and handled the situation safely?
For this to happen means that one of the AoA sensors has to be bad from the start, that it has to be bad enough to call a spurious stall warning, and it has to be the sensor that is driving MCAS on this flight (the last being a 50:50 chance). How often has this happened in the MAX's history? I have not seen a single such account in this long thread (I stand corrected if I missed one).
Clearly, that number would provide some valuable context to the two occurrences when the result has been fatal.
Was about to post same question. Have other incidents been reported?
