It was not a Runaway Stabilizer - it was functioning exactly as it was designed to function.

Exactly as MCAS was designed to function = Exactly! nothing other than it was designed to do nothing else.

So why interfere with the STS when it is doing exactly as it was designed.

Again - IT WAS NOT a RUNAWAY TRIM in any way shape or form it was a perfect response to MCAS 100%.

I hope all pilots do not override every auto system on all occasions as the auto systems are far safer (normally) than a pilot - but they do need to work 100% as designed to be safe.
