Yep. The flight characteristics of the 737 MAX in high angle of attack flight is either significantly different or it isn't, compared to prior 737's. Boeing said it is and created MCAS to mitigate/moderate that difference.
That MCAS can be disabled, means pilots need to know about, trained on, and demonstrate competency, on the ensuing natural (minus MCAS) flight characteristic.
And if the pilots are aware and demonstrate such competency, why even have MCAS? Rip it out.
