With the MCAS repeatedly trying to push the nose down, momentarily getting
the pitch trim back up somewhat by pilot command just isn't enough, even
if it is possible.
One of Boeing's proposed kludges<<<<<<<fixes is to add some memory to the
MCAS, so it will try to push the nose down *once*, but won't do it again
and again in fast succession.
