Agree.
The NTSB/JATR reports, as well as Hamilton's testimony on Wednesday, emphasized the fact that the MCAS misfire was never tested in the sim, let alone in flight. And that Boeing was not aware of the consequences.
They replaced it with a trim runaway event just to suit the assumptions.
So any "pitch and power" or "runaway trim" argument just misses the point.
