You must excuse me but I need to be blunt here;

Your agenda is throwing "shade" at Pilots and insinuating that their responsibility is much larger than it actually is.

I am not sure why you keep pushing this given that you yourself are not a Pilot. Yes, you have listed your credentials but they are not a substitute for the actual job of "Piloting".

As a layperson starting with the collection of data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX_groundings (which also contains a link to this article) it is very clear that Boeing is fully to blame for NOT disclosing the changes done to the 737 MAX system and how different it was from what the Pilots were used to. The Pilots were shown and assured a facade (i.e. everything works the same as what you know and trained on!) but when things went wrong they had no training to handle the new components behind the facade (they were not even told about these!).

It is inexcusable and Boeing bears full liability.
