Cognitive dissonance... So, is the stick shaker so startling and confusing that we should expect pilots to loose the ability to make rational judgements and control the aircraft when it is active, or is it a just normal day at the office, set FL 320 and continue?

Either way you slice it, the pilots had airspeed disagree and stickshaker immediately after takeoff. None of memory items on the UAS NNC checklist were executed. Counter to multiple instructions in that checklist, they continued to attempt to engage the autopilot when their training taught them they should not have. MCAS was no factor for the first one minute, fifteen seconds of the flight. Startle factor does not last a minute and fifteen seconds.
