If the AoA divergence was caused by the vane departing the aircraft, then they wouldn't have to look very far because that would have happened within about 6 seconds (~1,500') of WOW.

It has been...

It did not take 18 seconds for the ET302 crew to recognize the erroneous nose-down trim and respond. Nor was the time to recognize and begin to respond "fatal."

I had a similar question about flaps. Why is MCAS disabled with flaps deployed? Does the stick force curve meet regulatory requirements when flaps are deployed (even at flaps 1)?

If you "could have a lengthy argument about [my] statement", then you could probably also summarize so it would be less lengthy.

And it's far from clear why that would be off topic. The thread...

There seems to be an assumption in the article and in the comments that a retrofitted EICAS would have been likely to have prevented these two accidents. How realistic is that assumption?

The answers to some of these might be obvious, but I thought I'd ask anyway . . .

The AoA indicator in JT610 was north of 20 degrees when sitting on the ground at zero airspeed. Surely that was enough to trigger a sanity check of inputs. Even in flight, something more than 20...

How much would it have cost them to perform some kind of sanity check on the AoA input (assuming single sensor input)? Zero.
How much would it have cost them to design MCAS so that it...
