I understand where you are coming from... Removing the stab cut-out switches made the situation worse.
The cut-out switches with 'relay logic' are more reliable than the current DAL-C flight control system, but I cant imagine that the 'relay logic' would fulfill DAL-A.
If DAL-A is needed since the runaway control forces can't be handled by the Pilots, then the functionality of 'relay logic' must be reimplemented in DAL-A software instead.
