To me it's a bit of everything. The MD11 has some weaknesses in aerodynamics, agreed. But it's manageable with skill, just as one should be able to prevent a 330 from stalling.
Other aircraft have other weaknesses, some even in cockpit design.
Therefore it matters!
But you won't win over Stilton on the MD-11. He's already categorically stated he wouldn't let his son fly on one and nobody else's opinion counts
