So read things critically, and realize that you need to be skeptical of the accuracy of media reports of these types of technical issues.
The odds of turning off the stab trim cutout switches and having MCAS continue to trim nose down are not impossible, but extremely low. And there is nothing in what I have read that indicates that is what happened.
I am not saying what did or didn’t happen, because I don’t know. But I am advising on the realistic probabilities of some of these poorly written articles.
It appears the crew did the correct thing by turning off the stab trim cutout switches, but for some reason felt they needed to turn them back on. Why was that? I really don’t know, and I look forward to finding out. There are some legit theories written above by bigtime and fuzz, but no one really knows yet.

That was a joke actually, but I can see why you took it the way you did.
Anyways, I also read things critically and realized that I needed to be skeptical of the accuracy of information coming from the
media FAA and Boeing. This is where we differ.
I leave media out of it because while they are not always correct, they are there to inform the public and have good intentions to do so. The FAA and Boeing on the other hand deliberately misinformed the public about the safety of this plane.
