Not really.

(Paraphrased) "Boeing did not realize that all the alarms might cause some crews to not carry out the perfectly reasonable and functional standard emergency procedure"

But on one level I agree with them. I do not think nearly enough emphasis is put on the need to eliminate erroneous alarms and the direct part these play in many accidents. and as long as we are continuing the fiction that MCAS exists only as pilot feedback then it also can be considered an alarm.
