    Pilot training is obviously an important topic, but to suggest that the lack of it is what ‘really brought down’ the 737 Max is transparent whataboutery. There was a cause, it was a control system malfunction in the 737, as was quite clear from descriptions of both crashes. A deliberate muddying of the waters.
