I fail to see a causal factor being design or certification related.
The corrective action addresses the shortcoming
It does little good to wave the blame flag.
Agreed, unfortunately with the added bonus of making every spun-out argument against the Airbus Flight Augmentation; moot.
So seat of your pants can kill you just as easily as a lot of fancy computers. Genuinely, I think - in 2018 - you're probably safer in an Airbus during indicating problems because the Airbus guys have had unreliable airspeed, UPRT and OEB48 drummed into them ad nauseam, that... - now, i'll end up eating my own words here - ...that they should be on top of their game knowledge wise to deal with this sort of issue. Perhaps this training on the Boeing is yet to catch up?
I speak as an Airbus captain who experiences something to do with UPRT/UAS in every six months, that the company would have pretty good ground to stand on should i cock one of these events up on the line. I can't see how they could drive the training home any better than they currently do.
