We do know from the NTSB official report, that Boeing did *not* try the MCAS fault in the sim.
They just played "runaway trim".
Some posters here *believe* that they (those posters) could have kept control of the airplane.
Unfortunately, this will remain a conjecture forever.
Meanwhile, the NTSB, CAA agencies worldwide, pilots in the sim, pilot unions and renowned air captains do agree that the situation was very difficult, even knowing what to expect and what to do at what moment.
