MCAS can be shown to be very logical.
But regardless of the parameters that activate it, and the absence of any intuitive means to inhibit a false activation, it still seems strange to invoke the most powerful effector on the airplane as a means to adjust stick force. What happened to springs and variable linkages?
Also, let's not forget that MCAS became lethal when its authority was increased to deal with a second, lower-speed-range issue of non-linear force-to-alpha relationship. That's where someone needs to look at the "naked" characteristics - because MCAS 2.0 is more easily inhibited, increasing the chance that a MAX will enter that corner of the envelope unprotected.
