This seems to tell a different story that what I have heard before. That MCAS was originally designed to 0.6 degrees, and the test flights showed it needed 2.5 degrees. Now, this says the test pilots didnt know about the 2.5 degrees?
yes, re-engineering the wingbox, that was the $2 billion cost years ago...For the MAX, they re-engineered the landing gear to a scissor to get some added height, but still needed to move the engines fwd/up..

It reads as if it was never even tested to the limits, in any of the test flights.
