Well at some stage waaaaaaaay back I read the unequivocal statement that it does. As mentioned, I couldn't understand why I wasn't hearing more about that.

Now, Squinty makes this vital point as well as the thumb switch factor.

Doesn't there need to be a *working* AOA sensor that actually provides decreased AOA with the application of stabilizer by MCAS before MCAS will unwind? Why would unwind if it still thinks the AOA is too high?
The issue is, does it if fact do it, (when all but a high AoA is normal)
