This is exactly how normalization of deviance leads to death.

The MAX8 does not have a fix, it has a complicated checklist of workarounds for dynamic behaviors that should be automated.

Then the next level of failure you're inducing is that ' 8 = 7 '.

The combined systems of the MAX8 are not and do not equal the combined systems of the MAX7. You have re-asses the mitigation on every airframe that differs or you end up with a field of people splattered everywhere. If Boeing actually does the reassessment as they should, it will be about as intensive as actually removing the issue and reducing the workload of the pilot in the first place.

That's why a lot of people are pissy about this, as Boeing is trying to say they did it once and that work transfers to a new system perfectly. Didn't work so well with the other MAX8's that splattered themselves.
