The FAA being archaic was absolutely not the cause of the MAX incidents. Boeing released a plane with a single point of failure that failed, and they also neglected to tell pilots and FAA about this single point of failure because pilots unions would have insisted on training in a simulator (which costs Boeing money) and the FAA may have insisted on a redesign or also simulator training.

Your comment is a complete mischaracterization of the MAX incidents beyond what even Boeing public relations was willing to do.

It's relevant, at least.

The single point of failure was a bad implementation detail of a bad feature, and that feature mostly existed because of how all-or-nothing the "aircraft type" training is.
