There is just a few problems with this and I will list the biggest.
1 The aircraft is not stable and MCAS does not make it more stable or more stall proof, ie not certifiable!

Future MAX pilot!?
Though I agree with the latter three points, can you define 'not stable'? Seems like any commercial aircraft can enter an envelope where it will not be stable. If you are saying 'not stable in the same regimes as it's certified predecessors', then I'd agree.
