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.
