     So Boeing made an automated system that pitches the plane down to avoid stalls on the 737 Max, reliant on a single sensor as a point of failure, which would fight the pilot if the pilot tries to manually correct, and then hid this system from everyone including pilots in training and omitting it from the manual?

     Am I getting this right?

     How was there not a single engineer who looked at it and went "hmm maybe this isn't robust, which is a problem since the failure mode of this hidden system is that the plane drives itself inexorably into the ground"??
