Yes. And the design problems was created by MBAs that decided that they want:
1) to keep the new engines that change how the plane flies
2) a convincing lie that passes minimal scrutiny that the plane flies the same - to avoid training pilots to a perfectly good new plane
3) after engineering came with the MCAS solution MBAs drove the cost down and removed redundancy - after all the whole feature was a secret so no one would demand redundancy
