Two more interesting points in the slide: A SW column cutout.

E.g. more than 40 lb pull for more than 3 min is probably a desperate pilot... Good luck with that one.
Furthermore, MCAS seems to be unceremoniously categorized as Stall ID aka stickpusher.

MCAS2.0 misfire seems still to be a catastrophic event.
He is genuinely concerned with umpteen levels of band-aids. A longitudinally unstable NG version would give him better sleep at night.

The good news: this is public before any crash...
