Thank you. MCAS is not an anti-stall mechanism and should not be confused with one. Yes, pitch the aircraft too much and you will stall. But MCAS would allow a stall regardless, it is not its job. The job, as you point out, is to keep the aircraft handling similar to existing models.

This is not just splitting hairs. These distinctions matter.
