I read that as reporting that the MAX's "suboptimal" aerodynamics (which MCAS is designed to tame)
only has a "minor"
safety impact within the normal envelope. (Pedantically - for at least one point on the edge of that envelope.) Maybe
somebody doubted the aerodynamics sufficiently to require a test.
I'm only SLF, but "No Safety Effect" would have sounded nicer.
