What an ignorant comment. From a systems perspective, if aircraft design results in a situation that is 100% reliant on crew to flick the stab trim switches off, in a time critical, startling, highly dynamic scenario, the fault is almost entirely with the design of the aircraft. I thought we'd moved on a bit from the 'blame the human at the end of the error chain' mentality, but clearly some among us still have some way to go.
