Do not disagree with anything in your post.

But do you think that it is possible to use electric trim to counteract MCAS before using the cut-out switches? I feel there is something being missed here. Clearly, it is intended by Boeing that you can, and that is the information that has been provided. Given, two crews appear to have failed to apply sufficient nose-up trim, I have a niggling doubt it is the whole story. I want a reason they failed to apply sufficient nose-up other than they were stupid. I realise there may not be a reason...
