Good point, Bergerie.
Unfortunately, when I looked at the FAA requirements, they were more than simply "feel" as Uplinker asks.
It was an actual aerodynamic criteria that required MCAS, hence extreme (my point) movement of the horizontal stab. The tendency to require more down stab or less "up" stab had to be corrected aerodynamically and not thru the feel system. Or am I way off base.
