No you are not going senile. Only a couple of year ago I was looking at training 737 pilots and they do what is says in the QRH - SWITCHES OFF. PLURAL. And they trained for multiple failures during loss of airspeed concurrent with stick shakers.
I had a discussion in that I suggested pulling the CB for the stick shakers once you knew it was a false warning but the answer was that "Boeing doesn't say that in the checklist". I would call that action airmanship though!

Thanks all, interesting that it has been that way for many years,

Would take a while to find the post I was referring too, doesn't really matter though; as the total number of years increases sense of elapsed time does seem to compress.

This does totally put to bed any idea that training was changed to accomodate MAX.
