Boeing suffers new 737 Max issue that could delay return

1. Pure speculation warning

Reading the article two possibilities are mentioned and I have a speculation on what the problem might be.

Reuters, which first reported the new issue, said during an FAA pilot simulation in which the stall-prevention system was activated, it took longer than expected to recover the aircraft.

Other sources said the problem was linked to the aircraft's computing power and whether the processor lacked enough capacity to keep up.

There were earlier reports that there were two angle of attack sensors but only one was active. I can’t recall if they were both hooked up.

I thought at the time that maybe they just didn’t get the software done to use both. I wonder if a factor was that the processor was under sized and that using both sensors pushed the processor utilization too high.

Sorry for the wild a** guess
