Last year when discussing the accidents I remember raising the issue of the difficulty of discerning whether one or both columns - and which one - was actively shaking in a stressful situation with lots of other alarms going off.
Can we conclude the mechanical interconnect might have rendered things difficult ?
The MAX was built around the 737NG for certification purposes bar MCAS.
Having flown the NG (testing stalls) both pilots control columns will vibrate upon receipt of stall signals inputs from the hardware.

MAX should perform the same.
