That would be a fruitless endeavor.

How exactly would they have it pulled, and from where?

To keep stick forces up to the point of stall as required for certification. Also to make it fly like an NG.

It’s unproven that it would require trim to recover in such situations, unless you can offer some reference for that.

That’s not true, as MCAS is not a stall recovery system. It wouldn’t be able to be certified on a single type certificate with 737NG without MCAS though.

Because most people read “fake news” and immediately downvoted.

The chief of engineering has spoken.

Speed trim is the best example, introduced with the Classic series and remaining through to the MAX. From the 737 flight manual “The Speed Trim System (STS) is a speed stability augmentation system designed to improve flight characteristics during operations with a low gross weight, aft center of gravity and high thrust when the autopilot is not engaged.” The speed trim uses the inputs of thrust setting, airspeed, rate of climb, horizontal stabilizer angle. It runs on the Flight Control Computer which houses two 16 bit microcontrollers of differing manufacture.

Balanced enough? That's not the issue.
