Just imagine. A SNERT (or hacker) is at console on those two doomed
Boeing 737 MAX 8 flights, recently. That person using GNU/Emacs
Augmented With AI is able to reason with all available diagnostics data
to within the 40 seconds available and save the day for 360+ passengers.

The robust back-and-forth you witness here between demonstrable experts
should kill the cheapskating single point of failure in design of Boeing
737 Max 8 MCAS, undocumented presence of MCAS, no training for MCAS, and
$80K extra on top of the hefty $120M Boeing 737 Max 8 per aeroplane for
*disagree* instrument panel safety warning light.
