Since the responsibility for preventing a runaway is moved from the pilots to a more reliable flight control system …”
As currently described / discussed, the modified preventative system appears only to be concerned with erroneous trim operation due to MCAS.
If so then the likelihood of a trim runaway in the Max would still be similar to the NG.
Are the risks associated with this still acceptable given the difficulty / impossibility of moving the trim as demonstrated by the accidents and elsewhere.
