I think the emphasis on flight testing is slightly misplaced, for two reasons:
- The post crash simulator tests found that MCAS behaves as expected.
- Injecting faulty AOA data into a flight test is impractical.

However it seems to speak of a corporate culture, and the pressure to complete the launch. IMO the fault tree analysis could certainly have benefited from pilot inputs, or at least employees outside of the closed group responsible.
