If the plane is flying too slowly or steeply, and at risk of stalling, the pilot is incompetent.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Not if the plane isn't really flying too slowly or steeply, the computer just thinks that it is.

Pretty clearly a defect, if Southwest is having the same problem with the sensors.

This one looks to land at Boeing's door. They installed a defective sensor (inadequate testing of the supplier part) and they didn't tell the pilots how to override the software 'feature'.

FUD all you want, but it's clear where the liability is going to end up. Maybe the component supplier can kick in, as well.

Two quick question, so I don't have to track it down - who makes the part for Boeing, and is it a Chinese made part?

I am not sure if the comment lacked /s on purpose.

It would appear you place some blame on the software/computer system, and you would be correct in my opinion. Some of what engineers and designers have designed, could be just the opposite of pilot training and reactions to stimuli. That conundrum is part of the learning and training process so that ultimately there is no difference that needs deciphering between the human brain and the other one. We seem to generally be doing well on that account.
