I don't see any language in the release that insinuates that this was in any way the customer's fault or that it is to a lack of the customer's understanding.
Regardless of the presence of a AOA disagree alert, the system had the data with which to disarm MCAS. Boeing’s recent statements that nothing was wrong with the design has already twice been disproven. And it’s wrong for at least two reasons, use of a single AOA sensor, the second, that when AOA sensors disagree, the MCAS is not disarmed.
