Things are becoming a little clearer, to me anyways, after the myriad of stories and comments I've read.
1. MCAS was put on the MAX without enough information about its operation given to pilots and operators.
2. MCAS is not the direct culprit, a failure that triggers the MCAS system is the culprit.
3. Flight crews dependent on automation who rarely hand fly aircraft and lack basic flight and system knowledge (training) are most susceptible this and other system failures.

When the fox is put in charge of the chicken coup, is it the fox or who put him in charge at fault for missing chickens?
How?...firing squads at dawn?
How about instead of dawn we make it the moment of impact for either aircraft? The number of shots should equal the number of souls lost.
Seriously though, if the fix is so easy that it could be rolled out this quickly why wasn't it done as soon as it was even suspected of being a factor in the Lion Air crash? That's a question a lot of lawyers are likely pondering right now, and once lawyers get involved there's usually a painful financial "extraction" that's eventually made. And that's not counting what the various governmental agencies may impose.

At my position on the totem pole, if I kill or injure someone, would be close to being shot . . . Guess the BIG boys and girls don't have to worry about it . . .
Totaly agree.
Here is a very good article explaining How MCAS came to be, its operation, the flaws in its design and certification, what the Lion Air crew and probably the Ethiopian crew went through, and the proposed fix. It answered a lot of my questions.
