Willow. A simple question (without page sapping repetitive quotes and re-quotes).

The 737Max crashes involved an assumption, by Boeing, that crew would be able to detect and manage the failure.

Within Boeing there was prior evidence that this assumption was incorrect (sim tests - reaction time) and should have been reconsidered, vetted and checked (safety oversight - process failure). Also, that the assumption should not have been justified based on Boeings knowledge and experience of building aircraft, a policy for automation to keep the pilot in the loop, and previous accidents. (Examples of flawed assumptions - crew's perceptions from THY and Asiana accidents - Boeing failed to learn).

Would the above be a foundation for a claim against Boeing for the wide ranging consequences?
