I perfectly understand what you are saying. But I am also aware that the FAA has been very "weak" when it came to other safety aspects in the MAX certification by accepting explanations from B about the categorisation "risky" or "potentially fatal" (don't remember the exact wording, but you know what I mean). IIRC it was something around MCAS / AOA / single dependency. THAT makes me think hard and THAT makes me hope that the FAA Mgmt still feels the pain.
