It may be that they kept this information in a small circle. MCAS was supposed to keep the plane flying similar so discussions of where this idealized model was breaking were kept quiet.

It is still incredible. There was one big change in a high volume plane and that one big change should have been tested and tested again. Somehow Boeing started to believe their own cool aid.

The more I think about the MAX the scarier it gets. What if one engine fails during start? The forward mounted other engine goes full throttle pulling up more than pilots are trained to handle.
