That's just the with it feeling wrong near stall at high angle-of-attacks.

Theoretically yes, you can train pilots to deal with it. Hell, it would have been safer to just ignore the issue and not train pilots than the clusterfuck of the original MCAS implementation.

But it's not that it doesn't just feel wrong compared to the 737-NG. It feels wrong compared to every single certified aircraft.

The FAA has strict rules on how all aircraft must feel when approaching stall. You can't certify an aircraft without meeting this feel requirement. So the 737-MAX simply can't be certified without MCAS or some other fix.
