That is what I was trying to say. A little lightening of stick force/gradient in some rarely visited regimes might not be a problem for most pilots especially if it was noted in their training. But I'm in the dark as to the regime and the need to pencil whip it. It might be a more egregious and pervasive problem or not. But while it might be more egregious, currently I would fly the MAX without MCAS after seeing the Boeing YouTube video of the aircraft in regime they were trying to pencil whip. But they haven't put that out.
