I was browsing another thread on the 787 and shall we say, ahem, issues with its production when I stumbled across the following.


Ironically, just a couple of days after those claims of "lack of evidence", evidence came out that it may have indeed been possible, since such a condition was discovered in a simulator test performed by FAA pilots.
Let's be fair here. The "evidence" you cite involved upgraded software/firmware that had not yet been certified for flight, much less installed on the accident aircraft, during a test that intentionally created a malfunction that was unrelated to MCAS. Until there are further details to the specifics of the test and the particular failure mode, there still is no evidence that there were any problems with the Main Electric Trim system on the accident aircraft. As you note, after many months of perhaps one of the most intense investigations in modern aviation history, not a single authority has suggested such a problem or called for any redesign work associated with this system.
Question 1: The preceding post was written by:

a) Boeing's Lawyer
b) An employee of Boeing with three kids to support
c) A Boeing corporate manager
d) A disinterested third party
e) Brittney Spears

Oh man, just hiccuped with beer- headed to an early demise-

And yet the valid point the anonymous poster made remains unanswered by you.
