The proposed solution is a better designed piece of software to replace it.
If it works, what are you getting agitated about?
Well, for my money, because it's still a quasi-sentient being that can still access the aircraft's controls.

The very least I would want is full annunciation of every input* . . . and the certain ability to stop it.
*Periodic movement of the Stab Trim wheel could be there anyway, so I would want a specific annunciation.


There's been little talk of MCAS putting settings back to where it found them before an input. I'm sure I read it, but is it true? If so, it seemingly failed to do so.
