Ian, I don't believe that this is a claim that MCAS was in the documentation, the suggestion is that a) the difference in CUTOUT switches was and b) that it took another head in the cockpit to suggest trying the CUTOUT as if there was runaway trim. As the previous poster indicates, it took them a while to get there and they subsequently reported STS running in REVERSE (and not MCAS)
